Quick and deadly A-wings are peerless escorts and hunters, getting in, firing, and speeding away, leaving only enemy wreckage behind. The iconic T-65B X-wing can do it all: engage interceptors, take down TIE fighters, interdict bombers, and assault capital ships. Speedy and packing a punch, Tallie Lintra’s RZ-2 A-wing is a Resistance beacon. KYLO REN'S TIE SILENCERįast and deadly, Kylo Ren's TIE silencer is among the most dangerous spacecraft ever built. Its presence inspires terror in enemies of the Empire. The distinctive experimental TIE Advanced x1 is Vader's unique personal spacecraft. Luke is just as dangerous behind the controls of his X-wing as he is with his lightsaber. POE DAMERON'S BLACK ONEįrom the pilot's seat of his custom X-wing, Black One, Poe Dameron leads his squadmates and helps them get a jump on the opposition.

DARTH MAUL'S SCIMITARįew craft inspire the terror like Darth Maul's Scimitar. BOBA FETT'S SLAVE Iīoba Fett's Slave 1 iconic ship mounts powerful blasters and disrupts enemies with explosive Seismic Charges. Her speed is only matched by her punch, overcharged weapons systems, and concussion missiles. Missile boats, when equipped with sophisticated anti-ship missiles, and especially when used in a swarm, can pose a significant threat to even the largest of capital ships, and do so at much greater ranges than is possible with torpedoes.Pilot the legendary Millennium Falcon.
Guided bombs and then anti-ship missiles further reduced the usefulness of large warships outside the carriers. Even as World War II was taking place, submarines and aircraft, particularly those launched from aircraft carriers had made it clear that large warships were little more than targets in a major war. This trend culminated in the giant battleships of World War II. Previously, increasing the potency of naval artillery required larger projectiles, which required larger and heavier guns, which in turn called for larger ships to carry these guns and their ammunition and absorb their recoil. The advent of proper guided missile and electronic countermeasure technologies gave birth to the idea that warships could now be designed to outmaneuver their enemies and conceal themselves while carrying powerful weapons. The doctrine behind the use of missile boats is based on the principle of mobility over defence and firepower. They are similar in concept to the torpedo boats of World War II in fact, the first missile boats were modified torpedo boats with the torpedo tubes replaced by missile tubes. Being smaller than other warships such as destroyers and frigates, missile boats are popular with nations interested in forming a navy at lower cost.
A missile boat or missile cutter is a small, fast warship armed with anti-ship missiles.
