Rendili StarDrive (RSD) is one of the oldest starship-manufacturing companies, dating back to the foundation of the Old Republic. Currently, the company is based in the Moddell Sector.

History

Rendili StarDrive was originally founded on planet Rendili in the Core Worlds and was closely affiliated with the Old Republic. During the Great Sith War the predecessor of RSD, Rendili Hyperworks, was involved in creation and production of the Inexpugnable-class tactical command ship, Hammerhead-class cruiser and Praetorian-class frigate, which was converted by the Corellian Engineering Corporation into a Class VI freighter.

In the centuries leading to the rise of the Galactic Empire, Rendili Star Systems — a subsidiary of RSD — was involved in the adaptation and incorporation of Mandalorian starship designs into that of Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser.

Shortly before the Clone Wars, Rendili participated in the liberation of Averam from the Trade Federation's invasion. Later at the height of the Clone Wars Rendili StarDrive collaborated with Kuat Drive Yards to create the Victory-class Star Destroyer, a ship that was widely used by Galactic Republic during that time.

During the time of transition from Republic to Empire many executive officers of RSD watched with sorrow and shame as the ideals of the Old Republic were left behind one by one. Even as they continued to work with the Empire allowing it to use their vast facilities for the construction of the Star Destroyers, some of them were preparing an evacuation to the Outer Rim Territories.

Circa Year 5, Rendili StarDrive relocated to the Moddell Sector was finalized and all the affiliations with Galactic Empire were ceased. However this split had serious consequences as many blueprints and facilities were left in the possession of the Empire. After the move to Moddell, RSD became closely associated with the Avance Coalition and expanded its infrastructure to better serve its customers.

After the Avance merger with the Trade Federation, Rendili became a subsidiary of the Federation.
