The following is a list of fictionalstarships, cruisers, battleships, and other spacecraft in the Star Wars films, books, and video games.
Azure Angel II[edit]
The Azure Angel II was a modified Jedi Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor piloted by Anakin Skywalker and his astromech droid R2-D2 during the Clone Wars.
CR90 Corellian Corvette[edit]
CR90 Corellian corvettes, were consular vessels manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. While the CR90 would see initial use within the late Galactic Republic and Imperial Senate, many vessels would be appropriated by the early rebellion and later served as the cornerstone of the naval forces the Alliance to Restore the Republic against the First Galactic Empire, despite not being designed as combat-oriented blockade runners or fast attack crafts. Princess and general Leia Organa was in command of one of these ships, it was called the Tantive IV. This ship got captured by a star destroyer around the time that the first Death Star got destroyed by the Rebel Alliance.
Death Star[edit]
The Death Star is the Empire's battle station which can destroy planets. It appears throughout the Star Wars franchise.
Dooku's solar sailer[edit]
Darth Tyranus, also known as Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) reaches Coruscant aboard a Punworcca 116-class interstellar sloop, better known as 'solar sailer', built by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwright Collective, in Star Wars: Episode II â Attack of the Clones. The ship, which also appears multiple times in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, is equipped with a solar sail, that was originally part of the concept for the Naboo royal starship in Star Wars: Episode I â The Phantom Menace[1] The insectoid ship resembles both a beetle and a butterfly.[1] Its forward cockpit bubble was added when it was determined there was a need for a shot of Dooku sitting next to his pilot. It is somewhat similar to the private Antonov An-2 plane in real life.[1] The sloop is often misidentified (also by official Star Wars media) as 'the Geonosian Solar Sailer', but, excluding the fact that the Huppla Pasa Tisc is Geonosian, there is no evidence that it is related to this planet.
Ebon Hawk[edit]
The Ebon Hawk is Darth Revan's ship in Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. It is designed to be reminiscent of the Millennium Falcon.[2]
Gauntlet Fighter[edit]
A Gauntlet Fighter, or Kom'rk class fighter, is a Mandalorian class of ship. Larger than most starfighters, it can carry a larger crew and accommodate passengers. They were introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, with one known as the Nightbrother later serving as Darth Maul's personal craft in Star Wars: Rebels.
Ghost[edit]
The Ghost is a modified VCX-100 light freighter, manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Owned and piloted by the gifted Twi'lek, Hera Syndulla, it serves as 'home base' for a small band of Lothal rebels during the Age of the Empire. Named for its ability to travel past Imperial sensors without detection on numerous missions and skirmishes, the craft included many hidden surprises that aided the crew in their fight against the Empire. Among its many features were a 360-degree dorsal laser cannon turret, two forward laser cannons, and two rear laser cannons, as well as sleeping quarters. It also included the Phantom II, an auxiliary shuttle that doubled as a fully armed starfighter.[3]
The Ghost makes a cameo appearance in Rogue One near the Great Temple of Massassi on Yavin IV. Its captain, Hera Syndulla, is briefly mentioned in the film, and its repair droid, Chopper, makes a brief appearance inside the Temple[4].
Imperial Landing Craft[edit]
Imperial landing craft were inserted into the Special Edition release of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The all-CGI ships were initially designed as part of the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire multimedia campaign.[5]
Lambda-class shuttle[edit]
Lambda-class T4a shuttles first appeared in Return of the Jedi, and were later added to the Special Edition release of The Empire Strikes Back. Joe Johnston, Ralph McQuarrie, and Nilo Rodis-Jamero borrowed elements from the skyhopper designed for A New Hope when refining the shuttle's appearance.[6] Earlier versions were boxy, boat-like, or had TIE fighter-like components.[6]Industrial Light and Magic's modelmakers made two shooting models, although CGI versions were used for the craft's Special Edition appearance in The Empire Strikes Back.[6] The Theta-class shuttle in Revenge of the Sith was designed to appear like a predecessor to the Lambda class.[7] A Lambda-class shuttle makes a cameo appearance during the docking sequence of Inara Serra's shuttle in 'Serenity', the pilot episode of Joss Whedon's Firefly.[8]
Major Tullan's Snow Shuttle[edit]
Major Tullan pilots the Snowtrooper(s) Shuttle in space & snow! It first appeared in Star Wars Battlefront II! The Class-8 Shuttle for the First Order Army!
Millennium Falcon[edit]
The Millennium Falcon is a highly modified YT-1300F light freighter. It is captained by smuggler Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his Wookieefirst mate, Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew).
Moldy Crow[edit]
A modified Corellian HWK-290 used by Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors in the Star Wars: Dark Forces and Star Wars: Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight video games.[9]
Naboo Royal Cruiser[edit]
A Naboo Royal Cruiser is destroyed in a failed attempt to assassinate Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) at the beginning of Attack of the Clones. The second movie. The ship's design was inspired by the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.[10]
Naboo Royal Starship[edit]
Padmé Amidala escapes from and returns to Naboo aboard a Naboo royal starship in The Phantom Menace. An early design depicted the ship powered by a solar sail; when Lucas called for a sleeker look, designer Doug Chiang drew inspiration from 1950s hood ornaments.[11]
Naboo Star Skiff[edit]
Padmé Amidala travels to Mustafar aboard a Naboo star skiff in Star Wars: Episode III â Revenge of the Sith. Design Ryan Church sketched the ship to appear 'supercharged'.[12] Only the ship's boarding ramp was built full scale; some footage was altered from material used in Attack of the Clones.[12] The ship is designed to be reminiscent of the 'rocket ships' seen in pulp science-fiction.[13]
Nebulon-B Frigate[edit]
Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) receives a prosthetic hand aboard the medical frigate Redemption at the conclusion of The Empire Strikes Back.[14] A Nebulon-B medical frigate is part of the Rebel Alliance fleet at the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi. Expanded Universe material states that relatively affordable Nebulon-B frigates, which are effective at engaging starfighters, are used by both the Rebellion and the Galactic Empire.[14] The frigates appear in several LucasArts titles, including the X-Wingflight simulators series, Empire at Warreal-time strategy game, and Star Wars: Battlefront, as well as episodes 'Zero Hour' and 'Secret Cargo' of Star Wars Rebels.
Industrial Light & Magic's Nilo Rodis-Jamero and Joe Johnston created the frigate late during work on The Empire Strikes Back, with the design following a suggestion by George Lucas that it be based on an outboard motor.[15] The model was produced in a short time with limited financial access; it was primarily built from components left over from previous kitbashing exercises, including battleship hulls and artillery pieces.[15] The resulting model was 247 centimetres (97 in) long, 99 centimetres (39 in) tall, and included a 'window' where a still from the scene in the medical bay could be inserted for filming.[15][16]
Following the completion of filming, Lucas decided to revisit the end of the movie to better establish the characters' final locations, requiring a section of the frigate to be built that corresponded to the scale of the 2-foot (0.61 m) Millennium Falcon model.[15] The model was originally referred to as the Rebel starcruiser or Rebel cruiser, but during filming of Return of the Jedi, it was renamed Rebel Medical Frigate after the cruiser name was used for the Mon Calamari cruisers.[15][16] This is one of the largest ships known to the rebellion.
Neimoidian Shuttle[edit]
Neimoidian shuttles appear throughout the prequel trilogy and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Their design is based on a Trade Federation landing ship, turned vertically and altered to be more insectoid and less symmetrical. They are also used by the other CIS leaders, such as Nuvo Vindi and Wat Tambor.[17]
Outrider[edit]
The Outrider was digitally inserted into the Special Edition of A New Hope.[18]
Within Star Wars Legends, The Outrider is Dash Rendar's CEC YT-2400 class freighter in the Shadows of the Empire multimedia campaign. It is a playable ship in the Shadows of the Empire video game, and Kenner released an Outrider toy.[18] While Steve Perry outlined the ship's story and role, Doug Chiang designed the ship itself.[18]
A YT-2400 light freighter also appeared within the Star Wars Rebels Season 3 episode Iron Squadron. It was piloted by Mart Mattin, who was a nephew of Rebel Commander, Jun Sato.[19] It is unknown if the ship is meant to be same as the one in A New Hope. According to Gary Whitta, who served as writer of Rogue One, Dash Rendar is a controversial character among Lucasfilm Story Group, which decreases the chances of the character becoming part of Canon.[20]
Radiant VII[edit]
The Radiant VII is the first vessel shown in The Phantom Menace. Jedi knightsQui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) travel aboard the Radiant VII on their mission to end the Trade Federation's blockade of the planet Naboo. After docking with the Federation's Droid Control Ship, the Radiant VII is destroyed to prevent the Jedi from escaping.[21] Originally, the Radiant VII was going to be sleek like most Old Republic ships depicted in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. However, Lucas suggested a design similar to the ships in the original trilogy; Doug Chiang and the Lucasfilm art department responded with a design similar to the Tantive IV model created for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Several antennae were added to focus attention to the cockpit during the opening sequence of The Phantom Menace.[22]
Raven's Claw[edit]
A ship used by Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors in Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast after Kyle's first ship, the Moldy Crow, was destroyed.
Rebel blockade runner[edit]
Corellian CR90 and CR70 corvettes, often identified as 'the Rebel blockade runners', such as Leia Organa's Tantive IV and Bail Organa's Sunderhead Heart (Tantive III in canon), are small starships, usually used by Alderaanian people.
Republic Assault Ship[edit]
Republic assault ships of the Acclamator-class appear in Attack of the Clones. These ships, originally called 'Jedi troop transports', demonstrate a connection to the original trilogy's star destroyers through their triangular hulls.[23]
Republic Attack Cruiser[edit]
Republic attack cruisers, also known as Venator-class Star Destroyers, or the most known term Jedi Cruisers, appear throughout the Star Wars franchise.
Republic Cruiser[edit]
Consular-class Republic Cruisers like the Radiant VII are 'instantly recognizable throughout the galaxy'.[21] Republic cruisers are generally unarmed and feature a red color scheme as a symbol of neutrality and 'diplomatic immunity'.[24]
Rogue Shadow[edit]
The ship used by Starkiller and Juno Eclipse in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. It was first used by Starkiller to hunt down and kill any surviving Jedi Knights who somehow lived through 'Order 66', but it soon after became a part of the Rebel Fleet around 0 BBY after Starkiller was betrayed by his master, 'Darth Vader', and became a Jedi Padawan to Rahm Kota.
Sith Infiltrator[edit]
Darth Maul (Ray Park) pilots a Sith infiltrator, named Scimitar, in The Phantom Menace. Its design includes elements of the TIE interceptor and Lambda-class shuttle.[25] The vehicle has been made into toys by Hasbro and Galoob and models kits by Lego[26] and Ertl.
Slave I[edit]
Slave I is the starship used by bounty hunterBoba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch) in The Empire Strikes Back and by his father Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison) in Attack of the Clones. The ship's design is said to resemble the shape of a street lamp.[27] However, the actual inspiration for the shape of the ship was a radar dish, according to Nilo Rodis-Jamero, the assistant art director and visual effects creator on The Empire Strikes Back. Rodis-Jamero created the initial design after seeing Joe Johnston's ideas for Boba Fett, and states that 'the original design I had was round, but when you looked at it from the side, it became elliptical..George [Lucas] thought it was elliptical, so that's what it became.' He goes on to say that '[w]hen building the ship at ILM, someone looked at the street lamps and pointed out that they looked like Boba's ship. So everyone began to think that was where I got the idea for the design.'[28] Its appearance in the original release of The Empire Strikes Back was realized by a combination of matte paintings and a 69-centimeter (27 in) model.[29]
Imperial Star Destroyer[edit]
The Star Destroyers are the Galactic Empire's assault ships. Much like the Republic assault ships, the two have similar hulls, bridges, engines, and many other parts. They appear in a variety of forms throughout the Star Wars franchise.
Starfreighter[edit]
Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker travel to Naboo aboard a starfreighter in Attack of the Clones. The transport's design is partly based on an ocean liner.[30]
Tantive IV[edit]
The Corellian corvette Tantive IV is the first ship to appear in Star Wars. It is used by Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) in A New Hope, and a similar vehicle (the Sundered Heart) is used by her adoptive father, Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits), in Revenge of the Sith.
Techno Union Starship[edit]
The Techno Union Starship is a capital ship used by both the Techno Union and the Intergalactic Banking Clan. It first appeared during the Battle of Geonosis (in Star Wars: Episode II â Attack of the Clones) where many of its kind had their fuel-cells taken out by Republic LAAT gunships, thus preventing them from escaping. Before the Battle of Geonosis, there were 286 of the starships on Geonosis, but only 169 escaped to space. It was designated as a 'Hardcell-class transport starship', was 220 metres long, and was shaped like a rocket. It was used to deploy hailfire droids and later the Intergalactic Banking Clan's own battle droids, the IG lancers. The ship had a conical nose housing quarters for the organic crew, command decks and medical decks. It had six primary thruster units around its base that were capable of providing a fast take-off speed of 4,000 km/h.
Theta-class Shuttle[edit]
Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) travels aboard a Theta-class shuttle in Revenge of the Sith. The ship was designed to appear like a predecessor to the Lambda-class shuttle.[7] Only the shuttle's boarding ramp was built for filming.[7]
Trade Federation battleship[edit]
Trade Federation Lucrehulk-class battleships (or their enormous Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 cargo freighter alter-egos) appear in all three of the prequel films. Lucas called for these ships to have a 'saucer' look with a distinct front and rear, achieved by placing the engines on one side of the ship and the antennae and docking bays on the other.[31]
The most famous Lucrehulk-class ship is the Trade Federation flagship cargo freighter Saak'ak, controlling the Invasion of Naboo in The Phantom Menace.
Trade Federation Cruiser[edit]
General Grievous's flagship in Revenge of the Sith is the Trade Federation Cruiser Invisible Hand.[32] The raised spire helped differentiate the command ship from the other capital ships over Coruscant and to help map out the ship's various locations. More sets aboard the ship were built than seen in the film; several 'serial-type escapades' were cut from the final release. Other sets, built inside a mount that could rotate them, were used to depict the vessel's collapse.[33]
Trade Federation Landing Ship[edit]
Trade Federation Landing Ships transport the Trade Federation's invasion forces to Naboo's surface in The Phantom Menace. Although initial designs were reminiscent of dirigibles, the final design is based on a dragonfly.[34] George Lucas liked the ship's similarity to a biplane.[34]
Virago[edit]
The Virago is Xizor's ship in Shadows of the Empire. Its clamshell design, styled after a stealth fighter, is inspired by pulley castings.[35]
TIE Fighter[edit]
The TIE Fighter is one of the most commonly used spacecraft in the galaxy. It is one of the many ships the Empire uses.
YT-1300 light freighter[edit]
The YT-1300 Corellian light freighter, manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, was essentially a giant 'forklift' designed to tug around giant container ships. As one of the most successful designs in history, the appeal of the vessel is not its basic equipment, but its modular ability to take an extraordinary amount of modifications and alterations. Its popularity amongst freighter captains throughout the galaxy guaranteed commercial operation in the galaxy during the final days of the Galactic Republic and the reign of the Galactic Empire. The Millennium Falcon, a smuggling vessel that becomes part of the Rebel Alliance fleet, is heavily modified a YT-1300 of the YT-1300F variety.

Rogues and Villains Expansion Pack
The Star Wars films are great escapist fantasies, and like all escapist fiction, it's best not to think about it too much. The films take place, as the saying goes, 'a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away,' where apparently almost everything is possible.
Fondor Star Wars
Still, there are some things about the spaceships of the Star Wars movies that don't make any sense if you think about them even a tiny bit. Some are just bad design no matter what the technology, others could explained away if weâor anyone for that matterâknew exactly how things worked. Here are five examples.
The TIE Fighter
Mainstay of the Galactic Empire's fighter force, the TIE fighter is a pretty menacing aircraft. The Twin Ion Engine (TIE) fighter has two such enginesâsomewhereâand like a World War II Stuka attack plane makes a menacing screeching noise as it passes by.
The biggest drawback of the TIE fighter are the flat panels on both sides that make it look like an eyeball suspended between two playing cards. This is a large vertical surface area that seemingly serves no purposeâexcept to be a large aiming point for Rebel Alliance fighters.
Another problem with the panels is they restrict pilot visibility. The F-16 Viper has excellent visibility, thanks to a bubble canopy with the pilot in the center. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has poor visibility, but the Distributed Aperture System helmet is expected to help the pilot 'see' 360 degrees.
The poor TIE fighter pilot on the other hand has two large panels on both sides of him, preventing him from seeing anything more than perhaps a 50 degree cone in front of him. He would be unable see other TIE fighters flying abreast of him, or even in a staggered formationâunless he had a Distributed Aperture System helmet, too.
Super Star Destroyer
An enormous starship the length of sixty US Navy supercarriers, the Super Star Destroyer was an improvement on the standard Star Destroyer. The first of the class, Executor, was Darth Vader's flagship.
The question is: Why bother to build the Super Star Destroyer at all? Although much, much larger than the average Star Destroyer, it doesn't have larger, more powerful weapons. The whole point of building a larger ship is to put larger weapons on it.
Unofficial Patch v1f0.0.1 for Saints Row The Third (Full version). Launch of the fifth annual Morrowind May Modathon Modding Competition celebrating the 17th. Saint rows 3 mods. Character Customisation & Clothing. Discussions: 30. Messages: 1,708. Latest: All New Character Customization sekrit dokuments, Wednesday at 1:18 AM. Jun 28, 2013 - I've finished the game a couple of times and was wondering if anyone can recomend some fun/interesting mods. (links appreciated if possible).
Imagine if, when navies built battleships, larger ships still mounted the same guns as destroyers and cruisers. Bigger weapons extended the range of the fleet, and allow the fleet to give individual ships some breathing room.
This would have come in handy during the Battle of Endor, when a single Rebel A-Wing fighter crashed into the bridge of the Executor. The 11-mile long ship went out of control, causing it to collide with the Death Star II. When a tiny fighter can take down your flagship, and, in a domino sequence, your primary battle platform, you've got some serious engineering issues.
The Snowspeeder
A smallish, two-seat atmospheric fighter, the Snowspeeder was first seen at the Battle of Hoth, when Rebel forces used them to provide cover during the planet's evacuation.
In addition to the twin fixed-laser blasters, the Snowspeeder features a rear-firing harpoon. The harpoon attaches to a powerful, flexible cable which can be detached from the aircraft.
The plan is to use Snowspeeders to destroy the AT-AT walking tanks by firing a harpoon into it. (Somehow, the armor is too powerful for blasters, but not powerful enough to stop a magnetic metal spear.) The Snowspeeder would then do donuts around the AT-AT, wrapping the gigantic machine's massive legs in cable, and then cutting loose as the AT-AT is tripped up and falls.
The plan is extremely dangerous for the Snowspeeder crew. If the cable draws taut around the AT-AT's legs, that would put a tremendous amount of force on the aircraft's airframe, possibly enough to break it apart mid-flight. In addition, Snowspeeder pilots would be subjecting themselves to tremendous g-forces, especially as their aircraft whips around in ever tighter circles, greatly increasing the risk of unconsciousness as they fly very close to a very large object.
If the Rebels insisted on using galactic-strength piano wire to take down an AT-AT, they could have buried cables in the ground, under the snow, and raised them just as the AT-AT passed it by. This would have allowed the Snowspeeders to concentrate their blaster fire against enemy ground forces, particularly the smaller AT-ST walkers and individual snowtroopers.
Trade Federation Droid Control Ship
Many of the military organizations in the Star Wars universe suffer fromâin addition to a lack of marksmanship trainingâsevere command-and-control problems.
Trade Federation Battleships were actually decent starships, and according to Star Wars canon were converted freighters. The donut-shaped design would have made landing starfighters difficult, but that's not the battleship's biggest flaw.
The Droid Control Ship was responsible for controlling the ground invasion force during the Battle of Naboo. The entire ground invasion force. Of 139,000 droids.
When young Anakin Skywalker accidentally flew into the Droid Control Ship and set off a chain reaction that destroyed it, the entire droid force on the ground was deactivated, foiling the invasion. There was no backup control to keep the droids functioning in case the Droid Control Ship was deactivated.
The Droid Control Ship had one job to do, and it did it badly.
The X-Wing fighter
Singling out the X-Wing is a good way to get on the Star Wars fan base's bad side. The gripe here isn't with the iconic fighter itself, rather we're going to use it as a stand-in for all the little things about Star Wars ships that make no sense.
The control systems of Star Wars space ships make no sense. How, for example, do they slow down? Without gravity, the X-Wing would need reverse thrusters to slow itself, or turn itself around and fire its engines in the opposite directionâand yet we know it does neither.
How do ships in the Star Wars universe change direction? The X-Wing has four engines, but seemingly has no way to change direction. It could change the amount of thrust to individual engines to bank or turn andâassuming this is possibleâthe more engines the finer the control. But even if this were possible, aircraft-like maneuvers the X-Wing is famous for would be a real stretch.
Finally, like a lot of Star Wars spaceships, there's just not enough ship. How does a tiny fighter like the X-Wing travel from the Hoth system to the Dagoba system all by itself? Again and again in the Star Wars movies, small ships travel vast distances apparently using some ultra-compact fuel supply.
Speaking of which, how did Luke Skywalker fly that long distance without going stir crazy in his cockpit? Hopefully the X-Wing comes preloaded with some decent in-flight movies.
Remains of the film set for the Lars Homestead on the Planet Tatooine at Chott el-Jerid, Tunisia (pictured in 2010)
The fictional universe of the Star Wars franchise features multiple planets and moons. While only the feature films and selected other works are considered canon to the franchise since the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, some canon planets were first named or explored in works from the non-canon Star Wars expanded universe, now rebranded Star Wars Legends.
In the theatrical Star Wars films, many settings for scenes set on these planets and moons were filmed at real-world locations on Earth. For example, the resort city of Canto Bight located on the planet Cantonica, seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, was filmed in Dubrovnik, Croatia.[1]
Design Your Own Clone TrooperCanon[edit]
The following list names prominent planets and moons from the Star Wars films or other canon media.
Star Wars Legends[edit]
These are planets with multiple appearances in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, now rebranded as Star Wars Legends. The accompanying works were declared non-canon by Lucasfilm in April 2014, following its acquisition by The Walt Disney Company in October 2012.[83]
Similarities to real-world planets[edit]
ESO artist's impression of OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, an exoplanet compared to the ice planet Hoth
The discovery of exoplanets in the real-world universe gained pace in the early 21st century. In 2015, the US space agency NASA published an article which stated that many of the newly discovered astronomical bodies possessed scientifically confirmed properties that are similar to planets in the fictional Star Wars universe.
Kepler-452b, a rocky super-Earth-type planet, is said to be similar to the Star Wars planet Coruscant. Likewise, the planets Kepler-16b and Kepler-453b, planets discovered orbitting binary stars probably resemble the desert world Tatooine. The hot, molten worlds of Kepler-10b and Kepler-78b are comparable to the volcanic planet Mustafar. OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, a cold, remote exoplanet, is like the ice planet Hoth. Kepler-22b, thought by scientists to be an ocean planet, is compared to the planet Kamino.[119] According to NASA, there are also similarities to Alderaan and Endor in the real-world universe.[119]
Solar System[edit]
Two non-canonical works also feature the real-life Solar System's planets. Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas (1993) contains a feature, presented as a clip from a gossip column, in which a pair of Duros are abducted by humans and taken to 'Urthha' (Earth), where they create havoc by misunderstanding human objects and food. In issue #19 of the comic series Star Wars Tales (2004), the story 'Into the Great Unknown' finds Han Solo and Chewbacca in the Millennium Falcon, fleeing the Imperial Navy. They jump to hyperspace without doing calculations and find themselves in the middle of our Solar System, overpassing Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars while decelerating and landing in Northern America. Han is killed by Native Americans, and a mourning Chewbacca leaves the Falcon to live in the trees, where the natives believe him to be a sasquatch. In an epilogue set 126 years later, archaeologist Dr. Jones and his sidekick Shorty, searching for the sasquatch, find the Falcon and Han's remains.

This article is about the construction/repair area for spaceships. You may be looking for the aquatic equivalent.
A shipyard was a place where starships were either constructed or repaired, typically located in orbit around a planet.
HistoryEdit
There were many shipyards in the galaxy, with the three largest located at Kuat, Corellia, and Fondor.
At the height of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial Order of Battle called for at least two deepdock shipyards to be maintained in each sector, in addition to as many orbital yards as were needed to maintain its sector group.
By the time of 4 ABY, shortly before the Battle of Endor, major shipyards throughout the galaxy included but were not limited to: 30 civilian shipyards, 31 shipyards reserved for the Imperial military, and only 6 shipyards not affiliated with the Imperials at all. Of these, 27 of all 67 shipyards worked on the Imperial-class ships only, 22 worked on cruisers only, and 18 worked on both.[1]
Planets/systems with major shipyardsEditBehind the scenesEdit
In Star Wars: Rebellion, the shipyard has an advanced variant, which produces vessels twice as rapidly as the conventional shipyard.
