After the Zentraedi Holocaust, an estimated 670,000 Tou Redir ships remained intact or salvageable in the Zentraedi fleets and a 58 in the RDF Zentraedi fleet. Of the remaining Tirolian controlled ships 3,440,000 were part of the Grand Fleet (of which they made up 80% of the total number).
500,000 Tou Redir-class vessels all sharing in the "infection" of that fleet. The fate of the remaining vessels is unknown. 250,000 Tou Redir sloops of which 225,000 were confirmed as destroyed during subsequent offensives and skirmishes. The Ci'Vonian defection (1519) included approx. 350,000 were destroyed or scrapped due to advanced age prior to 2010. However, an estimated guess puts their number at 5,100,000 units. An exact number of constructed units cannot be given due to the loss of records in the Invid invasion of Tirol and the destruction of the final remnants of the Tirolian fleet over Earth. These ships were built at numerous locations throughout the Robotech Mercantile Empire and entered service from 1243 through 2010 in at least seven consecutive versions, with older ships upgraded to the latest standard as they came in for refits. Some alien races classified these ships as 'battlecruisers' as they were roughly comparable in firepower to their own ships, but the Tou Redir was not a capital ship in Zentraedi or Tirolian (or, by extension, Terran) eyes. In addition, the proper translation of the Zentraedi vessel designations into English was never completely agreed upon for instance, some texts call the Tou Redir reconnaissance sloop a 'tactical scout' or 'picket ship'. As such, their designations must be viewed as indicators of intent and use rather than absolute strength. While Zentraedi ships have been assigned Terran naval/space type designators, it must be stressed that their size and armaments placed them in a class of their own, matched only by contemporary Tirolian and modern Terran construction of like designations.
