[QUOTE="drothgery, post: 4604497, member: 360"] [b]Starship Manufacturers[/b] [SIZE="5"][B]New Republic[/B][/SIZE] [B]Mon Calimari Engineering Corporation[/B] The Mon Calimari provided the Rebellion's first capital ships by converting civillian designs, but one of their current purely military designs -- the MC90 Heavy Cruiser -- is a mainstay of the Republic fleet, and the [I]Viscount[/I]-class Star Defender is kept in limitted production, both because it's excellent in a defensive role and because technological changes might favor giant starships again and it seems likely it would be easier to refit a ship that big to use whatever new weapons arise than to build them from scratch. [B]Kandorian Heavy Industries[/B] A manufacturer of missiles, torpedoes, and energy weapons before the battle of Endor, KHI moved into capital ship construction as part of the delicate dance that brought Anaxes into the Republic -- and because KHI's engineers believed the MC90 redesign didn't fully embrace the proton missile concept. The company has grown rapidly since Anaxes joined the Republic, even acquiring the venerable Rendili StarDrive corporation; today they are the second-largest starship manufacturer in the Republic. They build the [I]Freedom [/I]class battleships and the [I]Alderaan[/I] class light cruisers -- both of which are the most unambiguously proton missile heavy designs; they have limitted (for their size) numbers of heavy energy weapons. They have maintained their component business as well; a large percentage of the proton missiles -- and their launchers -- used in the Republic are still built by KHI. [B]Republic Enginnering Corp [/B] Republic Engineering Corporation is an amalgration of smaller local starship manufacturers that banded together in the early days of the Republic that has become the galaxy's largest starship manufacturer. For the most part, REC serves a second source for warships, building other companies designs under contract (they build at least some of every Republic warship except the [I]Viscount[/I]-class Star Defenders). However, they have some designs of their own. They've mostly targetted the civillian market or to local defense fleets with their own designs, but the [I]Sacheen[/I]-class frigate has been a useful part of the Republic's order of battle. [B]FreiTek Inc.[/B] Formed by refugees from the Incom X-Wing design team that fled the Empire, FrieTek has become the leading designer of fighters for the Republic (their manufacturing capability is limitted, so most of the production of E-Wing fighters is actually done by REC under contract). They have managed to rescue some other fighter designers and design teams from Incom and other Imperial manufacturers; with the design talent on-hand, most investors are expecting something spectacular from the successsor to the E-Wing, but no one knows when it will be seen. [B]Koensayr Manufacturing[/B] The makers of the venerable Y-Wing fighter surprised many by beating out FreiTek, KHI, and Slayn & Korpil (makers of the B-Wing) in the competition to design a proton missile-based bomber craft. But although E-Wing pilots tend to consider the P-Wing sluggish and slow, it was clearly faster and more manueverable than the competing designs and maintained a similar level of firepower and missile capacity. [B][SIZE="5"]Galactic Empire[/SIZE][/B] [B]Seinar Fleet Systems[/B] Manufacturers of the infamous TIE series of fighter craft, Seinar continues to produce inexpensive yet fast and manueverable fighters. The TIE Interceptor has replaced the venerable classic TIE Fighter as the standard Imperial fighter craft, while new bomber and space superiority fighters have been developed. [B]Kuat Drive Yards[/B] The Empire's leading capital ship maker -- especially after Rendili fell to the Republic -- has been at the forefront of Imperial efforts to reproduce Admiral Serrano's proton missile project. To date, their greatest success has been the Imperial III Star Destroyer, which is becoming the Empire's primary heavy cruiser, though other designs are in the works, and both frigates and Super Star Destroyers with proton missile capacity have been seen in limitted numbers. [B]Incom Corporation[/B] Incom, with its home world still controlled by the Empire and many of its design teams defecting to the Republic, has fallen on hard times over the last few decades. There are some rumors that Incom's designers may be behind the Empire's new space superiority fighter, but their local manufacturing facilities were destroyed in a Republic raid. [B][SIZE="5"]Corellia[/SIZE][/B] [B]Corellian Engineering Corporation[/B] Although better known historically for civillian craft, CEC went into military construction in a big way when Corellia elected not to join the fledgling New Republic, and Corellia needed to build its own navy. Although it doesn't make anything as large and powerful as a Super Star Destroyer or another battleship or dreadnought, the Proficient class Heavy Cruiser is capable of holding its own with the MC90 and the Imperial III, and its smaller ships fare well as well -- although some of the reasons for this are tech transfers from the Republic that were part of securing Corellia's formal alliance.
