others operating outside the law will lamper with their transponders to
broadcast false transponder codes. Though highly illegal. altering a tran-

STARSHIP FEATS
Many feats designed primarily for character-scale combat still function in
vehicles. The training that makes an ace pilot a dangerous shooter in the
chaotic tumult of a dog figh t also serves him well during a running blaster-
fight with a squad of stormtroopers. The re levant feats from the Star Wors
Sago Edition core rulebook that apply to starship combat (and how to apply
them) are discussed below.
No feats relating to melee combat are relevant at starship scale. Even if
you ram Of collide with an enemy shi p. having melee-related feats doesn't
give you any advantage. (You can of cou rse use melee-re lated feats norm ally
if engaging in me lee combat at chara cter sca le wh il e on a starship.)
Ranged fea ts that add dice of damag e do so before any mu ltiplier from
the weapon is applied. For example, a TIE fighter pilo t using8urst Fire with
his laser cannons deals 7dl0x2 points of damage on a successful hit.
Burst Fire: Vehicle weapon s capable of autofire can be used with this

The Action VI bulk transport is a moderately successful freighter design
mitnufitctured by the Corelliitn Engineering Corporittion. As one of the mor~
recent entries in the Action line of stitrships, the Action VI is it pr~valent sight
on th~ hyperspace lanes, especiitlly in the vicinity of the Inner Rim itnd the
Cor~ Worlds. It has much in common with other bulk fre ighters, and many
consider it to be the industry stitnditrd-alb~it it lackluster one. The Action
VI is it fitvorite itmong trade guilds b~cause it is eitsily modified, reitdily
itvitilitble, itnd relittively inexpenSive.
Bulk freighters such as the Action VI are responsibk for hauling the vast
majority of cargo from system to system. The ship's enginn are typica lly
powerful, but the sh ips themsdv~s are correspondingly slow and unre-
sponsive. Given the sluggishness of the typical bulk transport, combined
with the fact that most itre sold without armitment or deflector shields, it
is little surprise that tht'( suffer terribly at the hands of pirittes and other
int~rstellar brigands.

C A PABILITIES
Given that they lack even rudimentary d~f~nsive systems, unmodified Action
VI transports are rar~ly seen outside the saf~r ar~as of known space. Those
that travel in high-risk sectors either stay with a large, escorted convoy or
rely on major defensive modifications to fend off an attack.

agility when compared to other Clone Wars-era capital ships, the Carrack was
used as a fast-attack escort fo r larger vessels. The design also saw heavy use
as an arm~d escort for m~rchant convoys, which were continuously targeted
by Separatist forces. A group of Carracks assisted in the destruct ion of the
Separatist flagship Invisible Hand during the Battle of COrllscant.

Th e Chiss use the term "clawcraft " to desc ribe a broad class of fast, maneu-
verab le starfigh t ers popular with the ir pilots and wi t h military st rat egis t s. In
fact, th ere ha ve been dozens of models of clawc raf t over the history of t he
Chiss Ascendancy, as wou ld be e)(pected of any long-lasting galactic govern-
ment. When used by non-Ch iss, however, the term almost always refers to a
Nssis-class Clawc raf t. a fus ion of Imperial and Chiss tech nology.
Th e Nssis-class Clawc raf t can be traced direct ly to the Imperia l forces
und er the comma nd of Grand Admiral Thraw n. Thrawn had access to Ch iss
technology in t he form of his Household Pha lanx and to Imperial reso urces
as a grand admiral. Sometime after t he Battle ofYav in, Thrawn began I ryi ng
to merg e th ese technologies, resul t ing in cus tom-bui lt craft using the ba ll
cockpit of t he TIE design coupled with t he claw-wing design common among
Chiss Clawcraft. ln t im e, this design was per fec ted and standardized, becom-
ing t he Nssis-ciass. Rath er than being a hybrid or · ugly: th e Nssis- class
Clawcraf! is a customized fighter design drawing on the st rong poi nts of two
different lines of t echnology. The design is so efficient t hat it sees use with
Imperial forces, the Chiss Ascendancy, and the Empire of th e Hand.

When the Cor~lfian Engineering Corporation began prodUCing th~ CR90
Corvette as its standa rd (rather than as an upgrade), cu rrent owners
of CR70 Cor~ettes were given the option of purchasing an aftermarket
modification suite that brought the vessels up to dale technologically
with th~ CR90 Corvette. Known as the Vanguard c20 retrofit, this
modification enhanced the combat prowess of the CoreHian Corvette
and ensured that the CR70 remained on par with the CR90, essentially
transforming the form C' r into the latter. The Tantlve IV, for example,
began as a CR70 Corvette that was used by Bail Organa at the tail end
of the Clone Wars. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Tantive IV
had undergone retrofitting that transformed it into a CR90 Corvette.
AVanguard c20 retrofit costs 500,000 credits (which includes both
raw materials as well as labor costs for having the re trofit appl ied) and
usual ly takes 2 to J weeks of work by trained professionals. The proc~ss
changes the base statistics for th~ CR70 Corvem to those of the CR90
Corvette, though this does not change the crew quality by default.
 THE CR7D CORVETTE
The predecessor to the more widely used CR90 Corvette, th e CR70 Corvette
saw frequ ent use in diplomatic and transport rol es. Unarmed and boasting
additional escape pods, the CR70 was among the mos t popular civ ilian
transports in th e gala xy prior to the ris e of the Empire. Th e CR70 Corvette
had been i n service for many years before the outbreak of th e Clon e Wars,
and though it was considered an older design, it was still in production in
large quantities duri ng the yea rs prior to the Bat tle of Oeonosis.
The CR70 Corvetu features an interior layout that is nearly identical to
that of the CR90 Corvette. Th e vessel has escape pods where the CR90's
turbolasers would be, disgu ised to look like weapon emplacem ents in order
to deter pirates and ra iders. Without th e turbo laser batteri es, some inte-
rio r space dedicated t o weapon support syst ems aboa rd the CR90 ac t s as
cargo space or passenger quarters, making space less of a premium aboard
a CR70.

A light and fast starship design ed for use during the Clon e Wars, the Eta-2
Actis interceptor is a predecessor to the TIE fighter and one of the fastest
and smallest ships in th e Republ ic fleet. Popularized by the Jedi during th e
waning days of the Clone Wars (and often referred to col loquia lly as the
"Jedi Interceptor"), th e Eta-2 is a ma rvel of compact engineering. Fea turing
twin S-foils designed to diffuse engine heat and a more impressive arma -

fragile, starfighter that helped turn the tide against the onslaught of the

When the Republic'selone army invaded Geonosis, its assault ships, starfight-

the Geo nosian dd~ nse5 we re eventually swept aside, th~ir swift response to
the Republic's invasion force bought the COnfederacy ~nough tim~ to mobilize
its ground forces. Instead of accepting defeat at the hands of the Jedi and
th e ir elone legiOnS, the Geonosian military castes became ev~n more devoted
to the cause of the Confederacy. The defeat of their hom~world polarized
their support for the Separatists and became a rallying cry for the entire

were a common sight in just about ev~ry major batll~ to come.

Gh troc Industries produc~d the class 720 freight~r in an dfort to compet~
with Corel lian Engin~ering's YT-lJOO. Despite an ingen ious marketing cam-

though this modest success wasn't ~nough to push Corellian Engineering out
of its position as industry leader.
Although Ghtroc Industries ev~ntuaUy fell by the wayside, wallowing in
the throes of bankruptcy, tens of thousands of class 720 freight~rs are still
in operation throughout the galaMy. Many vet~ran traders, smugglers, and
pilots consider the 720 to be just as good as, if not better than, the YT-1300.
The freighters are affordable, easily configured, and user-friendly, making
t hem popular with both old hands and rook ies.
Many of the galaMY's pilots have flown a 720 at one time or another.
When he was investigating Poderis's possible use as an Imperial transfer
point, luke Skywalker employed a heavily modified Ghtroc 720 to s~cretly

its design. A Battle Dragon has little chance of hitting multiple starfighters,

The Immobilizer 418 Interdictor-class heavy cruiser is a capital starship used

to pull ships out of hyperspace and prevent them from reentering, trapping
them in rea lspace and keepi ng them from escaping. The Immobilizer 418
uses four massive gravity well generators that prod uce a gravi ty shadow
in hyperspace (similar to that projected by a planet or a star) that makes
hyperspace travel through that area impossible. When an Immobilizer 418 has
its gravity well projectors fired up, any ships traveling through hyperspace
in the vicinity immediately revert to realspace, and no ship within a hyper-
space interdiction area can make the jump to lightspeed until the gravity
we ll generators are shut down.
The Immobi lizer 418 was deve loped in response to t he hit-and-run
tactics of the Rebel Alliance. The success of the Immobilizer 418 once
again gave the Empire an advantage over Rebel tacticians, though
fortunately for the Alliance, only a relatively small number of
Interdictor-class heavy cruisers were converted fOf use

As the Clone Wars raged and numerous Senators became increasin gly
uncom fo rtable w ith t he political climate of the repub lic, even t he most
peaceful of t raditio ns had to be ree xamin ed. The J-Type star skiff was the
fi rst diplomatic vesse l of Naboo to be arm ed (with a mo dest pair of linked
lasers) and the f irst to have a gunner's conso le. Its design also sacrificed the
slee k, all-chromium hull to place more practical (and stu rdy) access gril ls and
power ful sublig ht engines. Still a t hin g of beauty, the star skiff was clearly
designed with potentia l combat, escape, and repair in mind.
Th ough Queen Apailana of Naboo herself never used the armed star ski f f,
it was loaned out to Senator Am idala, a sign of t he Senator's great popularit y
with her homewor ld and her monarch. After Amidala died. the star skiff was

One ofthc most recognizab le Imperial spacecraft is the Lambda-class shuttle.
A workho rse of the Imperia l fleet, Lambdo-class shuttles have transported
Imperia l lumina ri es such as lord Darth Vader, as well as Emperor Pa lpatine
himself. It is perhaps ironic that one particular lambda, th e Tydirium, was
employed by th e Rebel Alliance to deliv~r a strike force to the forest moon
of Endor. It was this st rik e team that ultimately brought the second Death
Star's defensive sh ields down, allowing the Reb el fleet to converge and
subsequ ently destroy the space sta tion.
The lambda design was developed as th e direct successor to the Theto-
class shuttle by a group of forme r Cygnus Spaceworks engineers. These
engineers had been enticed into def ecting to Sienar, lured by promises of
high pay and tangible benefi t s. Even though Si ena r was respo nsible f or the

th~ Clone Wars, the Mankvim-814 light Interc~ptor (often referred to as
the Techno Union fighter) was a speedy but fragile starship constructed on
the planet Utapau. Though flown mostly by droid pilots, the
Mankvim-814 bO<lsted an actual cockpit and controls, so that
a living pilot coutd take the controls of the ship (unlike the
droid starfighters, which featured no cockpit whatsoever).
Bulbous and sleek, the Mankvim-814 was a fast ship that
relied upon its speed for defense rather than the strength of its hull
or shields.
During the latter days of the Clone Wars, the Techno Union needed
starfighters d~sp~ratel y for its war efforts, and the Mankvim-814 is the
result of th is need. When t he Clone Wars ~nded and the Empi re ros~, the

Though numerous transport ships are employed across the galaxy, the
Gallofree Yards transport is one of the mos t ubiquitous and often-used.
It is a sleek- looking vessel, especially considering its size, but its outwa rd
appearance belies its slow and ponderous nature. The ships can be used as
freighters, but due to their low speed are most often used as short-range
transports, moving goods and passengers from planet to planet, planet to
station, or star system to star system.
During the Clone Wars, the Gallofree was popular with the Republic Navy
as a resupply craft. large numbers of the transports were used to supple-
ment the Old Republ ic's extensive supply lines, enabling those lines to be
stretched thin without significant interruption to the flow of goods to the
front. A scant few were modified with improved shields and heavy weaponry
and used to lure unwary pirates to their doom.

In the ~arli~st days of the R~bellion, th~ Alliance was hug~ly succ~ssful in its

When th~ Republic invasion force landed, the fighters wer~ sent

The Predator-class starfighter is one of the foremost weapons in Darth Krayt's

Imperia l fleet. Designed over a hundred years after the Empire's defeat at
Endor, the Prl"dotor-class fighter bears more than just a passing resemblance
to the Imperial TIE fighter. However. the Predator-class starfighter is far more
than just turbolaser fodder; these ships are fast, agile. shielded. and a far
more formidable foe than even Ihe most advanced starfighters
used during the Galactic Civil War. These ships boast
hyperdrives that allow them to travel over long distilnces
without the need of a capital ship, though most Imperial
vessels carry iI complement of Predator-class starfight-
ers for protection.
The Predator-clilSS starfighter has two variant cockpit
styles; the more trilditional, TIE fighter-like cockpit is reserved for squad
leaders and commilnders, while the remaining ships have a cockpit with a
diagonally slashed set of viewing slots. Though the standard cockpit offers
a reduced view of the battlefield, the interior of a Prl"dotor-ciass starfighter
contains advanced computer technology with sophisticated heads-up dis-
plays to compensate for the reduction in visibility.

sels the Rep ublic built before budgets got tight. This simple and ut ilita rian
design does not sit well with all Repub lic diplomats, but it does make the
ships appealing to Jedi negotiators who seek to draw as li tt le atten tion to
themselves as possible.
Th ough they were built to be unarmed diplomatiC vessels, the ease of
chan ging out the salon pod (as well as th e highly modifiable nature of all

cruisers when t im es got ha rd. Modified vessels served in th e Judicial Forces

of the cruisers. including the flagship Invincible, were heavily modi fi ed in to

The Scimitar Assault 80mb~r was developed by Imperial engineers

at the beh~st of Grand Admiral Thrawn following the Battle of
Endor. Thrawn saw the need for a craft that would be more
effective than the aging TIE bomber, which suff~r~d from
poor maneuverability and a distinct lack of shields. The result
was a dedicated bomber that combined the ~st features of
the TIE bomber and the TIE interceptor, as well as some of
the more successful features of Ihe fighter craft used by the
Al liance. It was dubbed the Scimitar, in hono r of the Scimitar
Assault Wing, the Empire's most decorated and experienced
bomber wing.

The Virog o was t he personal starship of Prince Xizor, Black Sun's Underlord.
He personally commissioned Ma ndalMotors to design a unique starfighter
for his personal use. Xizor's demands were steep: He required a ship tha t
could match the TIE interceptor in speed and that was both versatile and
combat-capable. The spacecraft tha t was produced as a r~ult was the first
Star Viper-class assault fighter, and the criminal priflce christened his ship
the Virago. To eflsure that his ship remained unique and unrivaled, Xizor
purchased all righ ts to the new design.
The Virago served Xizor we ll for many yea rs, payi ng for itself ma ny times
over. It was eventtla lly lost overCorusc:ant when Xizor'sskyhook was destroy~d
by the Imperial Super Star Destroyer Executor. MandalMotors wasted little
lime in regaining the rights to the StorViperdesign following Xizor's death. The
flewest iteration of the Star Viper is flot as fast or as agile as Xizor's original
prototype, but MandalMOIors fell Ihal some concessions were unavoidable
in order to bring the price in to line with the mark~t as a whole.

The IPV-l is a typical system patrol craft, a sta rship designed to guard a single
star system. Built by Sienar, the IPV-l was orig inally designated t he Indepen-
dent Patro l Vehicle to rep resent its primary mission-ope rat ing independently
in antipirate and antismuggling activit ies. Afte r t he rise of the Empire, it was
des ignated an Im perial Patrol Vehicle, though little else changed. Ships of
this type are also often cal led monitors or system frigates.
Since a system wit h a serious problem is likely to have larger and more
powerf ul fleets assigned to it,IPV-ls are used only to ho ld down essential ly
secu re systems and rarely ge t the most promising recruits as crew. IPV-l
crews also develop strong rela tionships with local officia ls and businessmen,

 TIE INTERCEPTOR
After the Battle ofYavin, Imperial Naval commanders demanded a starfighter
that could counter thC' speC'd and firepower of the X-wing fighters that the
Rebel AliiancC' had employed. The TIE interceptor, which incorporated several
of thC' TIE advanced prototypc's fC'atures, was the ultimate reSUlt. Prototypes
similar to the initial interceptor design had undergone testing prior to the
BattlC' of Yavin, but th C'sC' had seC'n little action outside Sienar's test yards.
It was only a short time later that thc: final TIE interceptor desig n was
integ rated into existing starfigh ter squadrons. ThC' Imperial Navy's C'vC'ntual
plan was to replace all standard TIE figh t~r s with TIE interceptors. This
lofty goal was never quite met, with int~rc~ptors repr~sC'nting only twenty
pcrcent of all TIE fighters by the time th~ Battle of Endor took place. As the
number of interceptors in the Imperial Navy increased, it became standard
procedure to include at least one squadron of TlElln starfighters aboa rd

< TIE ADVANCED
The first TIE advanced prototype was built by Sienar Fleet Systems to
Oarth Vader's specifications. Only limited quantities of these starfighters
were produced, due in large part to the fighte(s excessive price tag. Those
prototypes that did see use were instead assigned to elite squadrons and
utilized to great effect during high-risk sorties against the Rebel Alliance.
Vader himself flew the first prototype during the Battle of Yavin, taking the
lives of many Rebel pilots in the process.
Despite the fact that the TIE advanced was manufactured only in limited
quantities, it can still be found in use many years after the collapse of the
Empire. These fighters, rare as they are, occasionally turn up on the open
market, or are found mothballed in abandoned Imperial caches throughout
the Core. l ando Calrissian, for instance, utiliud modified TIE advanced
sta rfighters for sport in the Oubrillion asteroid belt.

Capabilities
The TIE advanced is much more robust than the sta nda rd TIE/In. This is
due to a sturdier frame, which is visually obvious when one e xamines the
fighter's thicker wing struts and elo ngated rear deck. Utiliz ing the same
powerful drive sys tem that would eventually propel the TIE in terceptor, the
TIE advanced was excep tional ly swift for its size. Despite this, the larger
mass of the fighter, further exacerba ted by the presence of a hyperdrive and
shield generators, meant that it was no faster and less maneuverable than
an unmodified TIE fighter.

The 'fT series is a popular line of light freighttrS built by the Corellian Engi-

includes the Millennium Folcon. Tht first YT freighters wert built during
the height of the Old Republic, and ntw models continue to be produced in
evtry era since. The core design of th t YT stries is built around two basic
components-a disc-shaped main body and a large e xternal cockpit arta
with utensive windows. Although some models moved away from these
core design elements, they would return in later designs. Indeed, CEC made
a point of reusing as many of the same parts as possible between designs,
which had the advantage of allowing many different YT lines to be produced
at one time wi thout retooling the CEC shipyards. As a side effect, this helped
make all YT ships e~tremely modular and easily modified, a fact that went
far to explain the line's ongoing populari ty with indtpendtnt traders, smug-

The YT-2400 is CEC's bid to produce a -perfect " light freighter. An upgrade
of the YT-2000 design, it incorporates everything learned during the run of

upgrades as the short- run YT-2000. the YT-2400 returned to the off-center
cockpit arrangement. Though for both smaller and larger craft a center-
mounted cockpit makes sense. it turned out that many pilots prderred an
offset cockpit so they could easily dock their ships with the cockpit side

The Z-95 Headhunter is a venerable starfighter design that still sees use
th roughout the galaxy. Even though it is no longer produced, either by
Incom Industries or 5ubpro Corporation, unlicensed copi es and variants can
be found throughout the Outer Rim territories. Without taking into account
the number of knock- offs in ci rculation, th ere are still more Headhunters in
servic e wi th plan etary fleets, customs personnel, paramilitary organizations,
and law enforcement agencies than any oth er star fighter.
Th e original Headhunt ers were more akin to atmospheric fight ers than
starships. After several generations of continued development, the Z-95
was close to the form and function that it would become famous for. The
T-65 X- wing ow es much of its success to the Z-95, and the two craft are
obvious cousins wh en placed sid e by side. It should come as little surprise
that many of the galaxy's heroes have flown the Headhunter on more than
on e occasion.
