Rendili StarDrive
Rendili is a major warship manufacturing company. Unlike Kuat Drive Yards and similar corporations, it tends to produce smaller support ships, transports, and other odd vessels in addition to traditional designs.

Assault Frigate | |
|
The Alliance's "Assault Frigates" are modified versions of Rendili's Dreadnaught. All such ships have been altered so that the required crew and necessary maintenance is substantially reduced. Much of the internal structure is exposed to space, and fin-mounted engines provide added maneuverability. (Source: Rebel Alliance Sourcebook) |

Battle Horn-class Bulk Cruiser | |
|
A "bulk cruiser" is simply a multipurpose vessel that can act as a limited warship if necessary. Like all such ships, the Battle Horn is slow and lightly-armed. (Source: Thrawn Trilogy Sourcebook) |

Dreadnaught-class Star Frigate | |
|
The Dreadnaught is a very old multipurpose warship, in use decades before the collapse of the Galactic Republic. Although relatively small, these vessels had excessively high crew requirements, although the abundant personnel of the Republic's navy did not render this a problem. However, there were a number of crew-reduction projects undertaken, and the Empire encountered problems when it began using these ships in unimportant sectors and other places where navy enlistees were uncommon.

Lictor-class Dungeon Ship | |
|
"Dungeon ships" are prison vessels designed to hold especially dangerous or unpredictable prisoners, and were used to transport Jedi when the Emperor came to power. The Lictor-class is a common example of these, capable of holding thousands if necessary. (Source: Dark Empire Sourcebook) |

Neutron Star-class Bulk Cruiser | |

The Neutron Star is apparently a slightly different version of the Battle Horn, listed above. (Source: Rebel Alliance Sourcebook) |

Republic-class Star Destroyer | |
|
The Republic was one of the first ships produced by Rendili after the collapse of the Empire. It is presumably a larger, more powerful version of the Victory-class. (Source: Cracken's Threat Dossier) |
Name: Republic-class Star Destroyer |
Victory-class Star Destroyer | |
|
The Galactic Republic used the Victory-class extensively in its final days, as did the Empire. These ships, which exhibit the common "dagger" warship shape, can function in a variety of roles, and are even capable of atmospheric travel. However, despite their size, Victories are somewhat slow in normal space. (Source: Imperial Sourcebook) |

Victory-class Star Destroyer (Mark II) | |
|
The second version of the Victory-class destroyer added faster engines, but lost the atmospheric-travel capability. Two types of Victory Star Destroyers have been seen: one with "wings," and one with X-shaped outcroppings. The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels labels the "wings" as atmospheric maneuvering surfaces in the VSD blueprints. Thus, the winged Victory is probably the Victory-I, and the X-Victory is probably the Victory-II. (Source: Imperial Sourcebook) |
