I was planning on it being only for the Imperial Warlords, but I changed my mind and now both Imperial factions can build it.

It isn't an Empire exclusive ship though, all sorts of well connected underworld factions have obtained them as well, including the Mandalorians, Independent Imperial Moffs, and even a few local planet militias. Other factions may even get the ability to produce them if they defeat one of these minor factions that have them. The abilities and fighters on them will be slightly different based on who built them as well (I.e. the Empire's have TIE Fighters, the local militas have Z-95s and Y-wings).

means that

* empire got 7 capital ships in future?
* other fraction are able to built it, means that even TEC, Advent and Vasari are able to built it, if conditions are made?

Yes, the Empire will get 7 Caps. In fact, most factions, even the vanilla ones, will have more than 6 capitalships.

And yes, anyone who captures a planet that had a particular random encounter will get the militia version of the Venator.

do you have to have a different entity for each type of the Venator?

Of course. If two ships have the same entity file they will be identical in every way.

There's something about the Venator that makes me want one... Good looking model and I like the engine glow effect.

Description

While long since stripped of their distinctive Republic colors, the Venator Star Destroyers played a key role in the early Empire, before most of them were scrapped, turned into training ships, moth balled, sold, or acquired by less legitimate businesses. Yet the Wars of the Interregnum has forced to Empire to utilize all the ships it can get, and like the Dreadnaught class Heavy Cruiser and Acclamator Assault Ship, the Venator has also been modernized and put back into service.

Armed with 4 heavy missile launchers and 10 double turbolaser turrets, as well as a less powerful main reactor than the Victory-II or Imperial class, the Venator is not as good as other Star Destroyers in direct combat. However, it makes up for it with much more hangar space than even the larger Imperial class, making it one of the more efficient carriers of TIE Fighters. It can also supplement its average firepower with its SPHA-T Beam ability, left intact from the Clone Wars by the modernization program.

In gameplay terms, the Venator is unique among Imperial capitalships in that it is unlocked with a research in the civic tree, rather than being acquired by obtaining a specific rank.
