Naboo N-1 Starfighter
The following is a list of science-fictional '' Star Wars'' starfighters. Within the ''Star Wars'' setting, a starfighter is defined as a "small, fast, manevuerable, and heavily armed starship used in direct confrontations between opposing forces."Dougherty, et al. (2020), p. 256-257 In addition to appearing in the saga's movies and TV series, several LucasArts games depict the player as a starfighter pilot. In the ''Star Wars'' universe, starfighters are equipped with the same fictional technology found on other starships. Sublight drives propel starfighters at below lightspeed velocities, with the most common type being the ion engine.Barr, et al. (2017), p. 132 These engines are used to lift off from planetary surfaces, travel in deep space and engage other starships in space battles, while inertial dampeners protect the occupants from forceful accelerations. Repulsorlifts are carried as secondary drives for atmospheric flight and when docking or making planetary landin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
