History
Edit
Originally built by Elsinore-Cordova Engineering and powered by three Elsinore-Cordova Turbodyne engines, the exceptionally fast Longshot was armed with six autotargeting dual-barrel turrets and a concussion missile launcher.
Once a Republic Security Force interceptor, Longshot was stolen by Meeko after his escape from Desolation Alley. He lured the ship to the Sargesso asteroids where it was ambushed. Meeko proceeded to ram the interceptor into submission, breaching its hull and destroying the life support systems, killing all its occupants. After some repairs and fresh armaments, Meeko took the ship as his own. He called it the "longshot" after he jokingly referred to his odds for a successful escape as a long shot.
When pursued by Jango Fett on the Outland Station, Meeko led the the bounty hunter to his hangar, where Longshot was kept. Jango followed and cornered Meeko, who was protected by his ship. Jango fought the criminal from the outside, destroying its turrets. Longshot was brought down, leaving Meeko captured and on his way back to Oovo IV.
