The new type of TIE Fighter seen in Rogue One is the Striker, a vertical-winged craft with the silhouette of a swooping bird.
The black coating and triangular body give Krennic’s ship an aged and heavy appearance even with its narrow wings. The design keeps the folded-wing Imperial silhouette seen in both the Original Trilogy Lambda shuttles and Kylo Ren’s First Order shuttle. The shuttle had a transponder that transmitted Tarkin Initiative codes, allowing Krennic access to places where even secretive Imperial craft would be suspicious.
Its folding wings allowed it to be stored in relatively compact spaces, as well as increasing its stability. True to character, Krennic preferred the Delta’s imposing design and no-nonsense troop bay over the newer Lambda. Krennic and his Deathtrooper squad use a Delta-class T-3c shuttle, an older model than the iconic Lambda-class shuttle. Buy all of your Star Wars movies, books, comics, and video games right here! Delta-class T-3c Shuttle The four-winged shuttles are equipped with laser cannons and 20 repulsorlift generators on the wings for heavy cargo. The Imperial shuttle they captured on Eadu does nicely, and allows them to hold more troops than a U-Wing would, although it’s still a stretch: rebel troopers are not the usual cargo for this type of shuttle. When it comes time to bring Rebel troops to Scarif, the Rogue One team needs a bigger ship. Join Amazon Prime – Watch Thousands of Movies & TV Shows Anytime – Start Free Trial Now Shuttle SW-0608
Of course, there’s also the matter of the most deadly battle station in the galaxy, the Death Star.įrom old favorites to new eye-catching designs, here’s a guide to the new ships of Rogue One: On the side of the Empire, we get the Star Destroyers, TIE fighters, and the TIE bomber. There are plenty of familiar ships as well, especially on the side of the Rebellion, such as the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate, GR-75 medium transport, Braha’tok-class gunship (which first appeared in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shot in Return of the Jedi), and the VCX-100 light freighter – a ship you’ve undoubtedly seen before on the Rebelsanimated series. The rogue heroes fly aboard the reliable but uncomfortable U-Wing troop carrier, while Imperial Director Orson Krennic and his cadre ride on board a sinister Delta-class shuttle that looks like a Sith ziggurat all by itself. Although it takes place in a familiar part of the Star WarsOriginal Trilogy, Rogue One brings some new ships to the galaxy far, far away.
