TIE fighters
Edit
- Travel between star systems really requires a hyperdrive. So non-hyperdrive ships such as the basic TIE fighters should be removed. -Finlayson 01:44, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. But apparently, starfighters aren't mentioned as having to be interstellar in their article here. So they aren't just "spacefighters". — Aiddat (Holonet) (Contribs Log)
- PS: It's already been done. But the TIEs still listed did have hyperdrives. -Aiddat
20 million Edit
Thats not very many starships if you think about it. Are you sure thats right?
- Yes, I was wondering about that. It seems there would be more than that in the Core alone. Source anyone?Chack Jadson 12:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed that number would equal less than one per planet. HavetStorm 13:10, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- No idea what source that's from, but it actually does kind of make sense if you think about it from a pre-Clone Wars perspective. No major wars = no need for big navies. Still seems low, though. Sionay 20:59, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- The source is Rogue Planet. But it's only in the known galaxy, and only according to Tarkin. -LtNOWIS 21:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- I was wondering about this myself. 20 million isn't enough for even One in a thousand people on Coruscant alone, and we saw how many people on Coruscant had a starship. Was Rogue Planet canon?
- I doubt the new influx of wars and military demands beginning with the clone wars would increase the number much, the Imperial fleet, the largest fleet in galactic history only had 25,000 Star destroyers, which is insignificant compared to this 20,000,000 figure--99.141.179.43 23:22, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Let's clear some stuff up. Most of the ships seen on Coruscant are only atmospheric crafts, like the bus in episode 2. Also, there were wars before the Clone wars that demanded fleets of starships. Although starship is an umbrella term for many crafts, space travel was not as commonplace as star wars makes it seem, and 20 million, I think, might be an OK conservative estimate made directly before the Clone wars. Remeber that just because the Core worlds have a lot of ships, it does mean that every habitable planet out there is a huge spaceport like Coruscant. Omicron 94 21:39, 17, August 2010

All starships are starcruisers? Edit
Is it correct to state that "starcruiser" is a synonym for "starship"? This would mean that any hyperdrive-capable craft, even small fighters and escape pods, could be called starcruisers... -Kev-La Ttolya 11:58, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
