Assuming ship design systems are inadequate for expressing the bewildering size of a planetoid displacing roughly 50 billion tons,
Then I'll try "designing" it using the UWP instead.
A000656-A J1 M1
Starport: Inferring from the text, it built its hundreds of small spaceships and starships, so it would rate a Class A starport.
Size: Planetoids are size zero (0).
Atmosphere: Planetoids have no surface atmosphere (0).
Hydrographics: No surface water (0).
Population: Millions of people (6). Since they were subduing primitive worlds, they didn't need larger numbers. Plus, 50 billion tons may be a huge ship, but the volume only goes so far.
Government: Inferring from the text, "warriors and political leaders" would likely establish either a strong government, or a coalition. I'll assume a coalition between parties who provide technical benefit to one another -- a Feudal Technocracy.
Law: Again, probably high, but unknown.
TL: 10.
As to armament and defenses... I'll have to think about that.
