![]() Unlike other fighters of the era it manages to combine speed, maneuverability, toughness, and sheer firepower into one space frame, without sacrificing anything. 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. 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. That might not seem like a smart way to protect your ruler, but the ship was intended for peaceful diplomatic missions and the Queen’s protection was meant to come from an accompanying force of starfighters and the ship’s speed, which was great enough to outrun even most interceptors. What you might not know is that this Star Wars ship has absolutely no weapons. You saw it extensively in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. ![]() The J-Type 237 was the personal starship of the ruler of Naboo. If not for that weird, overly shiny exterior the Naboo insist on putting all over their ships, this is the one ship that might be good enough to compete with original trilogy designs in the awesome department. Designed like the futuristic, space-faring successor of a World War II bomber, the J-Type is nothing short of badass. This Star Wars ship has a name which suggests it might be well suited as some sort of garbage scow, but the J-Type’s exterior is an art deco masterpiece. They’re straight-forward transportation which, by the way, also looks pretty awesome. The Old Republic used them primarily to transport Jedi and diplomats missions. That’s an accurate depiction of this particular class of ship’s overall role in the Star Wars universe. A Consular Space Cruiser called the Radiant VII is the ship that brings Qui Gonn and Obi Wan to the Trade Federation.
