Peña: That said, looking over the text, it appears to me that a direct analogy with the Ravager and that your interpretation is essentially correct.

Assuming it isnt another fake.

"It appears to me." says a lot.
There's also this quote reinforcing the notion:

Considering the fact that he mind-fogged Coruscant citizens, so they could not find out the truth, and ordered his imperials to bury it, per the source, Palpatine did hide the ship beneath the surface because he mind-fogged the Coruscant people and he was the one to give the order.
It's just like saying that Hitler attacked Russia and broke the alliance treaty. Hitler doesn't attack Russia, but he represents the command of the attack.
