That's not really a ship, though, so much as an apparatus.

The point is the shape of the engine.

The point is it's not a ship, which is defined as 'a manned spaceship used for interstellar travel.'

Interesting fact:
Alcubierre's (or however you spell it) design for a warp engine relied on the ship being a certain shape, guess what shape that was? It was ring with a rugby ball shape inside (for the benefit of the Americans out there, rugby is football, but without the adverts every 5 minutes and excessive body armour, so a rugby ball is te same shape as what you call a football)

When a jedi starfighter has the ring attached, it classifies, under that definition, as a ship.

I disagree with that. 'Starship' requires interstellar capability, but 'spaceship' does not. It isn't specified in this case, so a Delta-7 would qualify as a ship.

That's a union between a ship and an apparatus. The two together does not constitute a ringed ship. There are no ringed ships in Star Wars.

Then you have an awfully strange definition of 'ring'. It's broken in front, but there is pretty clearly a giant ring on that ship.

Ring - a typically circular band of metal or other durable material, especially one of gold or other precious metal, often set with gems, for wearing on the finger as an ornament, a token of betrothal or marriage, etc.

Circular - a closed plane curve consisting of all points at a given distance from a point within it called the center. Equation: x2 + y2 = r2 .

That is clearly not closed, therefore it is not a ring.

This is an example of a ship possessing a ring.

Why we are discussing rings here?

We seek after knowledge, and you call us criminals.We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religous bias... and you call us criminals.You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the
criminals.Yes, I am a crimial. My crime is that of curiosity."

Note 'typically'.
