Guardian Mantis

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Guardian Mantis was Vana Sage's trademark ship. It was a unique starfighter of Xi Char design.

[edit] Characteristics

An extremely maneuverable three-winged craft, it could brake to a complete stop mid-flight as well as enable a stealth mode. Vana's astromech droid, Mod-3, maintained and repaired the ship while onboard.

It was armed with two laser cannons, a nano missile launcher, and a unique ion encumbrance system. This system launched small ion-enabled "tags", projectiles which attached to enemy vessels and caused an ionization effect which disabled their shields.

Vana Sage was known to have used this ship as early as 32 BBY when she, along with the pirate Nym, and Naboo pilot Rhys Dallows destroyed a droid factory on Eos and attacked a Trade Federation convoy over Naboo. She continued to use this fighter years later and was last seen searching for news of her friend Reti.
