It's a wedge-y ship manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards. That's what I mean by "Star Destroyer," rather than a role a ship plays. After all, Imperial-class Star Destroyers are not themselves destroyers, which are small escort ships, but more like Star Battleships.
Except that all the TIEs are manufactured by Seinar Fleet Systems.
The 40k galaxy is pretty big. Hyperdrives and the Holonet make the GFFA pretty small. There's no reason for Seinar to not internally distribute their own specs to their own plants.
