Putting Together the Pieces of the Puzzle

With more and more of the Imperial fleet being 'filled in', some decisions are taking shape.

Some examples:
  1. The Shockwave. This originally sounded like another vessel but I believe it can be fit under the Allegiance-class Battlecruiser design.
  2. Corellian-class Cruiser. These are basically faster ISDs that CEC produces for KDY.
  3. Imperial Communications Ship from RotJ novel. This is probably a separate class, I believe this could fit under the 'Loronor Battleship' grouping.
  4. Admiral Giel's weird cruiser. This is a KDY Praetor Mark II.
  5. Captain Wermis. This is a Star Destroyer-class Battlecruiser. Hope a better name comes out. Based on the design could be the 'Rendili Battleship' that has never been designed before. Hopefully it is retconned that way.
  6. Tagge-class. Separate battlecruiser than Captain Wermis' although they look the same. Built by TaggeCo. Could have borrowed design elements from Rendili.
  7. Who makes the Assertor-class Star Dreadnaught? KDY? 
  8. The Mandator-III and Bellator dreadnaughts are there, but we don't really know the stats for them...
  9. So many dreadnaught classes with few being made. At least they provide some variety.

So if it is grouped like that the following could be said:
  1. KDY does most of the heavy warships for the Imperial Navy.
  2. SFS does starfighters and a few corvette/cruisers.
  3. Loronor Corporation has their Torpedo Spheres, their battleships and the Strike-Class Medium cruiser. They are more of a specialist producer.
  4. TaggeCo does mostly support vessels but their battlecruisers are their one real warship.
  5. Rendili does older models and some space stations. They get 'redeemed' under this approach by the new battlecruiser they can field.
  6. CEC handled corvettes, light frigates like the DP20 and their 'cruisers'. Other than that they focused on transports.
  7. Damorian Manufacturing Corporation has the Carrack and the Tartan. Other than that they focused on civilian vessels.
Did I miss anything or get anything wrong?

At least with the new information in the past few months we are moving in the right direction.
