5/7/2023 0 Comments Clone fighter ships![]() ![]() This is the ship that killed the Death Star (twice) and it was the backbone of the Rebellion throughout the entirety of its war with Palpatine’s Empire. One of the most iconic Star Wars ships of all time, bested in sheer famousness by perhaps only the Millenium Falcon herself, the Incom T-65 X-Wing’s silhouette is a thing of legends. Most notably Recusant class ships sometimes served as General Grievous‘s command ship during battles.īest Ships From The Original Star Wars Trilogy This Star Wars ship was also known as the Commerce Guild Destroyer and the Separatist Destroyer, the Recusant class was used heavily during the Clone Wars. The ship uses an attachable booster ring, when it wants to travel through hyperspace. Some Jedi even give them customized paint jobs suited to their planet of origin and personality. Obi Wan flies one on his missions in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and so do a lot of the other Jedi. The big engines mounted on the side scream World War II fighter pilot, all the ship’s really missing are some flames or better yet, a pin-up girl painted on the side of it.ĭelta-7 Aethersprite-Class Light InterceptorĪlso known as the Jedi Starfighter, the Delta-7 is the most common mode of battle transport for Jedi Knights in the age of the Old Republic. Used in The Phantom Menace to defeat the Trade Federation, these Star Wars ships are the primary military weapon of the Naboo. If not for the wimpy yellow paint job, the N-1 Fighter would be a design worthy of fighting alongside the X-Wings of the Rebel Alliance. The Sith Infiltrator perfect a compromise between the maneuverable style of a fighter and the bulkier, long range heft of a transport. If you do see one, you’ll see one of the best ship designs in any of the prequels. It rarely ever is, until Darth Maul lands one on Tatooine in pursuit of Anakin Skywalker and his midichlorians. The Sith Infiltrator is a stealth ship, and thus designed not to be seen. ![]() Republic Attack Cruisers measure 1,137 meters in length while a Victory Class Star Destroyer measures only 900 meters long. Later versions of this ship would indeed be called Venator Class Star Destroyers and they were originally used in the Clone Wars depicted in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.īelieve it or not the Republic Attack Cruisers are actually even bigger than the Star Destroyers you know from A New Hope. It's also chock-full of after-market modifications, and these modifications have a tendency to completely fail at inopportune moments.The Republic Attack Cruiser is, obviously, the predecessor of the Imperial Star Destroyer you know from the original trilogy as the deadly tool of the Empire. It is a lumbering hunk of junk with a lot of surface area to hit. Weaknesses: Although the Millennium Falcon is typically piloted by expert fliers, its weaknesses are rarely shown. The turret system requires a second person to operate, but it does allow for 360 degrees of damage. The Millennium Falcon may be huge, but it can hold its own in a dogfight, as well. As savvy fans know, parsecs are units of measurement, and the special thing about the Falcon isn't its speed (though it is equipped with a faster than normal hyperdrive) - it's its navigational computer. Han Solo likes to brag that it's the fastest ship in the galaxy and that it completed the Kessel run in 10 parsecs. Strengths: As a smuggling ship, the Falcon features plenty of compartments to hide whatever illicit goods its owners might want to clandestinely transport across the galaxy. The Falcon played a key role in the destruction of both the first and second Death Star. Originally flown by Lando Calrissian, it gained notoriety in the hands of Han Solo and his hairy co-pilot Chewbacca. Who Flies It: The Millennium Falcon is the most famous hunk o' junk in the galaxy. ![]()
