I know of Kuat Drive Yards, Billbringi Shipyards, and......?

Incom, Rendiili, Siener, and Hoesch-Kessel are the only other ones I've heard of and I got these from the X-wing games so I couldn't say how reliable this info is.

They're all legitimate corporations. However, whether they have their own shipyards are another matter. For example- we know that the Bilbringi system had massive shipyards that built Star Destroyers, but that doesn't make it a corporation. We also know that Rendili Star Drive designed the Victory-class, but that doesn't mean it had its own corporate shipyards for the purpose.

Rendilli Star Drive has a ship yard.
It's only medium sized by SW standards, though they seem tp have specialized on warships.

Then there is allso Fondor

Ah k fair enuf.

Medium size SW= 100x Utopia Planitia

Gyndine, Sluis Van, Mon Calamari... I'm sure Corellia has some...

Yeah Corellia has big shipyards.

The Correlian Yards are among the oldest, largest, and most important yards. It was at Correlia, were the Hyperdrive was invented and the first hyperdrive equipped ships were built there.

The Great Three shipbuilders are (those with the largest building capability):

Kuat Drive Yards
Sienar Fleet Systems
Correlian Engineering

But sure if a corporation designed a ship, it doesn't mean that they built ALL the ships of that class in their own shipyards? I think that contracts had to be given out to account for the sheer number of vessels.

Considering the number of VSDs in service a lot of them were proably built in other yards since Rendilli doesn'T have the capacity.
Though, handing out licenses is probably more often done during wartime than during peacetime (just as in real life.)

That's true. Bilbringi obviously took contracts from Kuat, for example. Unless Bilbringi belongs to Kuat which I doubt for no other reason that it seems wrong.

Kuat probably has the largest shipyards. And it designs the ships they build. Fondor is also big and belongs to Kuat. Corellian designs and builds its own ships as well.

Fondor does not belong to Kuat. They are competeing companies.

There is also a small Imperial yard in every sector to take care of its fleet. But they appear to be heavy duty repair yards, not building yards.

Probably. Except during Imperial Times they were al under Imperial Contrect.
