The Empire required all planets with a planetary navy to surrender over half of the fleet to the Empire.

So, it IS plausible (when fusing EU and movie info together) that he was referring to the Corellian Defense Ffeet ships.Ģ. Also, in the EU, it has been established that Corellia had one of the biggest planetary defense fleets not controlled by the Empire. He would naturally throw out an example of his homeworld for sentimental reasons. So he definitely was not referring to them.ġ. The SSDs were definitely made by the KDY, however. For instance, there are the Bilbringi Shipyards which make ISDs and other capital ships(frigates and corvettes) for the Empire. There are several instances in the EU where it is shown that NOT all of the ISDs were made by Kuat Drive Yards. He has called them Corellian ships because these big ships are manufactured by the Corellians.īut that would mean, that these ships are not manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards and that, if that information is wrong, all informations concerning Kuat Drive Yards are compromised. Insofar, I see only another plausible possibility: He has referred to their manufacturer. He couldn't have meant, that they belong to Corellia because he has made it clear, that he considered them as Imperial ships.Īnd he couldn't have referred to their class because we know the classes of the ships in question. Referring to a possibly unknown ship class or a minor ship class wouldn't help him to get it across.īut if he has referred to the Star Destroyers and the Super Star Destroyer as big Corellian ships, what could he have meant? And for that, he would have to give an example, which are of use for both of them. Insofar it is implausible, that Han could have referred to another ship class. The Imperial-class Star Destroyers, along with Imperial stormtroopers, represented the might of the Imperial Military throughout the galaxy during the reign of the Galactic Empire.In consideration of the fact that we have only seen Star Destroyers and the Super Star Destroyer as big ships of the Empire, I can only conclude, that he has meant these.Īnd that would make sense because these ships are the trademark ships of the Empire. I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now. Allegedly Kuat Drive Yards have build all the Imperial Capital ships, that were shown in the first trilogy: Star Destroyers and the Super Star Destroyer.īut I can't reconcile that with what Han Solo has said in Star Wars: A New Hope: Curtis Saxton - who have invented it and are referring to it, Kuat Drive Yards or KDY was the largest military shipbuilding corporation in the galaxy. According to some EU sources - especially the Star Wars: Complete Cross-Sections, written by David West Reynolds and Dr. I have read, that in the EU, there is something called Kuat Drive Yards.
