could you tell me what corporation builds the Imperial stardestroyers?

The name of Vader's flagship?

six different classes of Imperial fightercraft?

Five different rebel/New Republic fightercraft?

*Suspicious glance.* Easily done, but why? This sounds like it's phrased like some test question.

Kuat Drive Yards, or KDY.

The name of Vader's flagship?

If by that you mean the huge ship seen in the movies, the Executor.

six different classes of Imperial fightercraft?

TIE, TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber, TIE Advanced, TIE Defender, TIE Raptor.

Five different rebel/New Republic fightercraft?

X-wing, Y-wing, A-wing, B-wing, E-wing.

*frown*

I thought TIE/Rs were piloted...where did it say they were droids?

That is the dumbest-looking TIE design I've ever seen.

I think before The Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader's flagship was the Star Destroyer Devastator. In ESB Vader was given a massive command ship called the Executor.

In Star Wars, as it is in real life, the flagship is whichever one carries the flag officer (fleet admiral or whoever's in charge). In TESB and ROTJ, that was the Executor.

The problem with the word '"flagship" is that people have gotten confused by Star Trek's abuse of the term. In Star Trek, the flagship does not necessarily carry the flag officer. Instead, it seems to refer to the most prestigious vessel in the fleet, even if it's under the command of a mere captain. It really doesn't make any sense.

And there's more than just those listed fighters for both sides.

It's not technically an official Imperial design, it was made by a rogue Imperial Warlord with a Super Star Destroyer under his command.

They are. The author of that site got TIE/R's mixed up with TIE/d's.

I don't think he mixed up anything. The Raptor was a droidship from start, but was eventually developed into a piloted craft.

More accurately, the author of the site got the TIE/Raptors mixed up with the TIE/Interceptors from the fake 181st Fighter Wing that had droid pilots and were loaded with explosives.

I know of an XWA modder who's made Raptor models to use in the game. He's made both piloted and droid versions. I don't know how official either one is, or if Zsinj had both, but there it is. (I know that this guy tries to keep his models and such true to what's in the continuity already, but it could be that he just wanted a flyable model too much...)

I've heard it pronounced two different ways. Does it rhyme with kumquat or is it the two syllable "Q-aht" pronunciation?

Personally, I like the former. Sounds more alien.

Coo-at, to me.

I should add, that the Empire not only have TIEs as fighters. There are also some other designs, such as the Cygnus Xg-1 "Starwing" Gunboat.

I've always said it "Quat," it makes it easier to say: Kuat of Kuat, ruler of Kuat, director of Kuat Drive Yards.

I call it "Koo-at"
