KDY info needed!

I was wondering what are all the ships KDY produces and what are the names off all its subsidiaries and what they produce?
I know they make ISD and ISDII and SSD. So just give me the list.

You are kidding right?

Seriously, we are talking a product line of hundreds here, with a dozen subsidiaries, then trying to figure out what they designed, and what they were just contracted to build, and on top of that you want the system listing of every shipyard they have?

How about I give you a bag of powdered hen's teeth instead, that is a bit more doable.

Ok, maybe with the entire SDnet population's collective brainpower... :wink:

Kuat system, the K in KDY -- corporate HQ and huge shipbuilding facilities; may have terraformed/consumed PLANETS in the star system in the construction of the yards and starship building programs.

We don't fucking know, okay?

Seriously, half of the information would take several of us days to look up, and the other half of the information just doesn't exist.

Try doing your own research for once. It's fun.

Do. Your. Own. Research.

Seriously, the info's out there for anyone that wants to find it and put it together in one big list. Right now, that only includes you.

Nitpick: A subsidiary's product is not the owning corporation's product. The Acclamator is not a KDY ship.

If KDY shipyards in the kuat system were destroyed, then how much would it damage KDY? And are the KDY shipyards centralized around the Kuat system, like are all the shipyards there?

Yeah, but KDY maintains other Yards, such as the ones at Gyndine and Fondor.

Rendili StarDrive was contrasted with KDY in the AOTC ICS for having the business advantage of having a string of more decentralized yards in the Outer Rim.

That said however, KDY itself in the Kuat system is MASSIVE. If those shipyards were lost, KDY would go from #1 of 4 to #4 of 4 in terms of shipyard abilities under Fondor, Sluis Van and Bilbringi.

Fondor's yards and Bilbringi's shipyard are KDY property.

The Xa Fel system manufactures hyperdrive cores for KDY (from I, Jedi).

Realy? When was this stated? I was under the assumption they were in competition with each other...

Fondor had to be independant. Why else would Kuat have been mad that Fondor got the Executor contract and not them.

But the Executor is still a KDY-ship. Seems that there is rivality between the Yards concerning who gets the biggest fish.

Concerning thier product ling, why not visiting Saxtons site? There is an impressive catalouge of KDY-ships.

I was under the impression that Fondor built the Executor and KDY built the Executor Class.

HIMS Executor and her sisters of the same class are obviously KDY trademarked products.

Therefore KDY must own the facilities at Fondor and Bilbringi, considering they have only been observed to produce KDY products during the Imperial era.

As for the "rivalry"; it is possible that there is contest between the administrators and department heads overseeing various yards within the KDY corporate empire--for prestige sake, the Kuat of Kuat probably would've prefered to have HIMS Executor constructed over Kuat; therefore it is possible to see KDY irritated at the Imperial decree that Executor would be constructed at Fondor (something which was rectified by having a fascimile HIMS Executor constructed at Kuat, which would be rechristened HIMS Lusankya).
