This tough combat ship, a Porax-38 starfighter, boasts a powerful class 2 hyperdrive and in terms of speed is clearly superior not only to the majority of similar-sized spaceships but also to fighters with a multi-man crew. Aided by the extremely effective sensor system designed for longer distances, the compact fighter can also detect enemy activity at an early stage. Powerful drives, a double reactor system and highly effective deflector shields make the fighter a valuable component in any fleet. The ship is built by the Buuper Torsckil Abbey Devices Works. Thanks to its strong protective shielding and the penetration power of its double laser cannons the Gunship is regarded as a formidable and highly dangerous opponent, and one that also Anakin has learned to respect. The ship is piloted by a personal bodyguard of General Grievous, a highly intelligent combat droid of the IG-100 MagnaGuard type.
