Naboo Royal Cruiser
The following is a list of starships, cruisers, battleships, and other spacecraft in the ''Star Wars'' films, books, and video games. Spacecraft appearing in the original trilogy Death Star The Death Star is the Empire's battle station which has ability to use a kyber-crystal powered laser to destroy entire planets. It appears throughout the ''Star Wars'' franchise, particularly the original trilogy. ''Executor'' (Super Star Destroyer) The ''Executor'' serves as Darth Vader's flagship during the events of ''The Empire Strikes Back'', leading the Death Squadron against the Rebel Alliance on Hoth and in pursuit of the ''Millennium Falcon''. It features again in ''Return of the Jedi'' where, during the final space battle, it is destroyed after a Rebel ''A Wing'' crashes into the command bridge, causing the ''Executor'' to lose control and be destroyed as the second Death Star's gravity pulls the flagship into its surface.Walker (2018), p. 197Barr, et al.

Starship
A starship, starcraft, or interstellar spacecraft is a theoretical spacecraft designed for interstellar travel, traveling between planetary systems. The term is mostly found in science fiction. Reference to a "star-ship" appears as early as 1882 in ''Oahspe: A New Bible''. While NASA's Voyager program, ''Voyager'' and Pioneer program, ''Pioneer'' probes have traveled into local interstellar space, the purpose of these uncrewed craft was specifically interplanetary, and they are not predicted to reach another star system (although ''Voyager 1'' will travel to within 1.7 light years of Gliese 445 in approximately 40,000 years). Several preliminary designs for starships have been undertaken through exploratory engineering, using feasibility study, feasibility studies with modern technology or technology thought likely to be available in the near future. In April 2016, scientists announced Breakthrough Starshot, a Breakthrough Initiatives program, to develop a proof-of-concept flee ...

TIE Fighter
The Twin Ion Engine (TIE) fighter is a series of fictional starfighters featured in the '' Star Wars'' universe. TIE fighters are depicted as fast, agile, yet fragile starfighters produced by Sienar Fleet Systems for the Galactic Empire and by Sienar-Jaemus Fleet Systems for the First Order and the Sith Eternal. TIE fighters and other TIE craft appear in ''Star Wars'' films, television shows, and throughout the ''Star Wars'' expanded universe. Several TIE fighter replicas and toys, as well as a TIE flight simulator, have been produced and sold by many companies. Origin and design Colin Cantwell created the concept model that established the TIE fighter's ball-cockpit and hexagonal panels design for '' Star Wars'' (1977). ''Star Wars'' creator George Lucas liked the basic design consisting of two panels connected by a stick with a ball-shaped cockpit, but Cantwell's concept had few details. Joe Johnston created additional details, such as the cockpit window and the attac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
