When Sienar produced the
Imperial Class II Star Destroyer, KDY needed to upgrade its Aegis Star
Cruiser to keep up. The Aegis mk.II was born only a year after the first
Aegis mk.I Cruiser. The only upgrades to the mk.I were in drive systems
and weapons, with the Turbolasers upgraded to Heavy Turbolasers. While
the mk.I was produced at the Gyndine, Corporate Sector, and Fondor factories,
the mk.II was manufactured only at the Kuat Drive Yards and Byss.
