[Star Wars - KOTOR] How much damage on the whole has Revan's little bid for galactic power has caused?

And what's the comparative technological and military status of the Republic at the beginning of the Great Galactic War several centuries later?

Specifically I'm interested whether they've become as demilitarized as in the movie era, and whether *Wh40k*-style archeotech becomes a legitimate concept.

Between the Mandalorian Wars and Revan's Crusade, the Galaxy was left in a pretty sorry state.  Whole worlds were turned into irradiated wastelands and trillions upon trillions of beings died or were permanently displaced.  It left the Republic broken and virtually bankrupt to the point where they could not support reconstruction efforts on more than a handful of worlds.
