The generalised name of the Dodonna/Blissex RZ-1 Starfighter. It is a flat, one-man, wedged-shaped snub fighter built for the Alliance after the lost of the Hoth base and prior to the Battle of Endor. It is 9.6 meters in length, and was designed for interception and long-range reconnaissance. A unique feature of the A-wing is the short hydro-servo bearing installed in each wing tip, allowing the pilot to tilt the laser cannons up to 60 degrees up or down. Its top sublight speed is 120 MGLT, and can manoeuvre at 1,300 kilometres per hour in an atmosphere. It has limited navcomp capabilities, being able to calculate only 2 jumps before requiring recalibration.

Imperial All-Terrain Armored Transport vehicle, an elephantine assault tank built at the Kuat Drive Yards. These 15-meter-tall machines lumber around on four articulated legs. They require a crew of three to operate, although much of the war machine's motion is controlled by sophisticated artificial intelligence. The AT-AT can carry up to 40 troops and 400 kilograms of cargo. Armed with two fire-linked heavy laser cannons and two fire-linked medium blasters on its head-like cockpit, the AT-AT was designed to inspire fear in the enemies of the Empire. General Veers was a proponent of the AT-AT, and purposely overlooked the fact that the AT-AT could be toppled by a cable wrapped around its legs. Although this weakness was used effectively by the Alliance on Hoth, the Empire continued to use the AT-AT to install fear.
All-Terrain Scout Transport vehicle; a two-legged version of the AT-AT, used as a scout vehicle and in areas where agility is required. The 8.6-meter-tall AT-ST was mass-produced by the Balmorrans. It has a crew of two, and can transport up to 40 kilograms of cargo. It is armed with a twin blaster cannon, and twin light blaster cannon, and a concussion grenade launcher.
Designed by Admiral Ackbar and the Verpine colonies of Slayn and Korpil as part of the Shantipole Project, the B-Wing (the B stands for blade) looks like like a flying cross, with the control pod at the top, retractable wings at the sides, and laser guns at the top and bottom. The canopy is also gyroscopically levelled by a unique stabilization mechanism that allows the entire ship to rotate around the canopy. This is difficult to maintain, and can leave the pilot disoriented if it locks up. The Quadex Kyromaster stardrive is located at the center of the cross. The whole ship flies sideways. The entire ship is 16.9 meters in length, at its longest dimension. Originally designed without a hyperdrive, it was later modified to include a hyperdrive and limited navcomp capabilities. It is limited to two hyperspace jumps before the navcomp requires recalibration. It can make 950 kilometres per hour in an atmosphere, and has been rated at 90 MGLT in open space. The B-Wing is equipped with active and passive sensors, a single laser cannon, two proton torpedo launchers, three fire-linked medium ion cannons, and two auto-blasters. The single laser cannon can be fired at low power in continuous mode, doing no damage but acting as a near-perfect targeting mechanism. While this makes the B-wing very effective, it also allows the enemy to effectively target the B-wing in return.

Imperial Class II Star Destroyer
A modification to the incredibly effective Imperial-I class, the Imperial-II class only had 36,755 crewers, but 300 gunners. These 1,600-meter ships were equipped with 50 heavy turbolaser batteries, 50 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 ions cannons, and 10 tractor beam projectors.
Imperial Class III Star Destroyer
Development of this class of Star Destroyer was rumored to have taken place on Centurious, although the ship's existence has yet to be proven. The Imperial-III class ship was built from the Imperial-I design, with several key modifications. Much of the ship's systems were automated, reducing the crew requirements down to 5,005, with 263 gunners. Weaponry was restructured include 36 double turbolaser cannons, 30 turbolaser batteries, 20 heavy turbolaser cannons, 50 ion cannons, 10 tractor beam projectors, and six concussion missile tubes. On-board starship squadrons were also modified from the original, providing the Imperial-III class with enhanced mission profiling. Two standard TIE/Interceptor squadrons were stationed on it, along with one squadron each of A-9 Vigilance Interceptors, TIE/Advanced Fighters, Scimitar Assault Bombers, TIE/rc Fighters, and TIE/D fighters.
Han Solo's souped-up YT-1300 smuggling ship, which has been modified from its "original" specifications over the years. Han came to own it after winning it in a Sabacc game from Lando Calrissian. Lando had won the Falcon in an earlier sabac match, just before he started hunting for the Treasure of Rafa. He had no idea how to pilot it, but he recognized its abilities. As he grew to become a better pilot, Lando continued to upgrade the ship's systems, and it became his primary mode of transportation. After Han and Lando (had just completed a run of the Kessel Spice Mines together/got together on Bespin), Lando was in a gambling mood. He was running low on credits, so he added Han's choice of any ship in his used ship lot. Han chose the Falcon from among the junkers, much to Lando's dismay.
Once Han got control of it, he added a non-spec Imperial power plant and hyperdrive system, as well as an impressive amount of armament: upper and lower quad laser cannons, an underside sweep gun, multiple forward laser gun pods, and a pair of concussion missile tubes. The ship continued to astound those not familiar with its military-issue components and higher than normal lift/mass ratio. The ships' central ladderwell, leading to the upper and lower quad-laser cannons, is equipped with separate gravity generators, allowing the two people manning the cannons to operate in reciprocal gravity fields. After the Battle of Bakura, the Falcon was swapped back and forth by Han and Lando in a series of Sabacc matches. Lando won the Falcon finally, but opted to give it to Han as a gift, in order to end the inane series of card games.

Victory-I class Star Destroyer
A medium-duty Imperial capital ship, the Victory-class was the precursor to the Imperial class. It was designed by Walex Blissex and was commissioned into service near the end of the Clone Wars. It was manufactured by Rendili StarDrive, and was built to serve three purposes: planetary defense, planetary assault and ground troop support, and ship-to-ship combat. It can run at speeds up to .45 past lightspeed. The Victory-class measured 900 meters in length, and was manned by 4,798 crewers and 402 gunners. It could transport up to 2,040 troops, and held 8,100 metric tons of cargo. It was equipped with 10 quad turbolaser batteries, 40 double turbolaser batteries, 80 concussion missile tubes, and 10 tractor beam projectors. The Star Wars: Customizable Card Game states that the Victory-class Star Destroyer had the capability to operate in a planet's atmosphere.
Victory II-class Star Destroyer
a modification to the original Victory-class Star Destroyer, the Victory-II class was manned by 5,881 crewers but only 226 gunners. The Victory-II also measured 900 meters in length, and was 20 turbolaser batteries, 20 double turbolaser batteries, 10 ion cannons, and 10 tractor beam projectors.
Common name for the Incom T-65c A2 Starfighter, this is a 12.5 meter snub fighter with two wings that split in two by activating S-foils. This allows for greater maneuverability and firing accuracy; each of the split wings has its own laser cannon (total of four). It is a single-pilot ship, with an R2 astromech droid socket. The R2 unit is used in place of a navigationa computer. It is extremely maneuverable, even at its top sublight speed of 110 MGLT. It has also been clocked at 1,050 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere.
The X-Wing was designed by Incom just before the Empire stopped contracting out naval construction. The Empire believed that Incom was infiltrated by Alliance sympathizers, and relieved the X-Wing team of duty. The X-Wing team then defected to the Alliance, flying out with all the X-Wing prototypes and the starfighter's plans. Their parting gesture to the Empire was to destroy all records of the X-Wing in Incom and Imperial databases. The Alliance then began to produce the X-Wing themselves, recognizing its potential. It continued to gain acceptance after the Galactic Civil War due to its maneuverability and durability. Several upgrades and modifications from the liberated Incom design team didn’t yield major improvements until the advent of the T-65d A1, which eliminated the astromech droid in favor of more computer power to provide the pilot with more in-flight options in terms of maneuverability and management of shipboard resources.
