Your list is a bit off, The VSD (and I think even the gladiator) are canon because they were mentioned in a canon novel (although we have never seen them so their existence is canon but their model is legends until shown). The raider is a bit of a grey are because it was produced alongside LFL after the Disney merger (They said everything released would be canon but they admit that FFG games are in a weird spot in regard to that)

Commander is labeled as canon but I would say it is probably in the same weird grey area as FFG games.

I do believe they ever since the Disney purchase they are trying to develop Canon ships/squadrons and will only be using legends to fill in the blank spots. This is why I strongly believe wave 6 will most likely be Hammerhead Frigates, Quasar Carrier and Venator Star Destroyer.

Just checked again nether the Victory nor the Gladiator have ever appeared in any canon books, shows, or games

the Raider would depend on how the contract is worded

if Lucas/Disney reserved all right to anything produced under the licence then it will probably be canon

if FFG has the right it more then likely will never be canon

I know for a Fact the victory did, they were mentioned as protecting sentinel base in the Tarkin Novel. The Glad I am willing to concede because I cannot remember it specifically, maybe it was just Screed who was mentioned and my mind jumped to gladiators.

Mmmmm vendicator with a Tie Defenders wing mmmmm

I do apologize it appear that it was not listed on the main page so you are right

the show you are thinking of is the Droids cartoon from the 80's and no it not canon (thank god) :D

I would love to see the Gladiator and the Raider show up in Rebels.

YV-666 appeared in the Clone Wara series IIRC and would be canon.

LOL, I have never seen "droids" but I know Screed is canon because he was in "Tarkin" and "Life Debt". I guess my mind just filled in The Galdiator because of the connection. I do hope they bring it in to canon though because it is a beautiful ship design.

I would love to see an episode next season of rebels in which Screed shows up in the Demolisher :)

Raider is also cannon now, since it is included in the new battlefront 2 campaign, which is cannon. Check the trailer for battlefront 2, there is no way that isnt the raider.

Venator was said, not Victory...sorry

Victory Star Destroyers are canon thanks to official references in Tarkin.

Currently there appear to be only 3 Armada ships that haven't been firmly added to canon: The MC30c Frigate, the Assault Frigate Mk2, and the Gladiator-class Star Destroyer.

Raider has recently been canonized for Battlefront as Inferno Squad's ship (named Corvus ) and was mentioned in Tarkin if I'm not wrong( I was, it's lost stars)

The TIE/D appeared in Rebels season 3 and was designed by Thrawn

The VT-49 is cannon from the Aftermath books. The unique pilot is Sloane's personal pilot

Other than that you are spot on :D

A ship called the VSD was canonized. We don't know it's appearance.

The raider was mentioned in Lost Stars. I'm not sure about Tarkin.

We do know the VSD appearance because we know that the VSD was an early variation of the ISD. The ISD is a larger, faster and better-armed variation of the VSD.

What I'm saying is that it's angry space triangles all the way down.

As for the Raider, the new rule seems to be that any story that takes place in the film or TV universe (BF2 takes place during and immediately after Return of the Jedi) is canon. And the Raider is, undeniably, being placed front and center in the new game.

And it looks awesome . I don't think I've been happier with the presentation of a spaceship since the Normandy SR2 from Mass Effect.

MC30 was an unused Model they made for Return of the Jedi, wasn't it? So it sort of gets a Legends* ranking. Straight from Lucasarts but not onscreen.

EDIT: Concept art from RotJ. Not an actual model

This would be the one, fixed

Pfft, if i like a particular ship, i don't care if it's "canon", "legends" or a pipe dream. I want it! End of story! Do not pass go, do not collect 200$. :D

... But that money would feed my family for a Month...

My apologizes.....Victory is mentioned in Tarkin, my bad
