I can see having some kind of automated stuff on board, but nothing really clever like androids or astromechs or other such tech. Since the tech already exists for things like automated vacuum cleaners, or those robots that can be controlled via human input (exploration subs, bomb disposal units etc), it wouldn’t be much of an extension of this kind of technology (just a duplicate or refinement really). Perhaps the USFP puts a limit on AI technology so as not fall into the same situation as the Arvonians. That and a truly artificial intelligence might not be all that safe with the Arvonian AI being its nearest neighbor.
