[edit] Characteristics
The gunship had nose art of a blue-skinned Twi'lek female in clone trooper armor on both its sides. It had the standard armament of a LAAT/i gunship, but it lacked the two composite-beam laser turrets that were otherwise located behind the cockpit.
[edit] History
[edit] Battle of Teth
This ship was first seen during the Battle of Teth where it launched an attack on a B'omarr Monastery, which was used by the Separatists as a hiding place for the kidnapped Rotta, the son of Jabba the Hutt. The gunship took heavy fire from several of the DSD1 dwarf spider droids stationed at the Monastery, but it came out of the battle all in one piece.[5]
[edit] Battle of Rishi moon
On the Rishi moon the ship was used to search for any surviving clones after the distruction of Rishi Station.[6]
[edit] Battle of Ryloth
During the Battle of Ryloth the gunship was briefly seen in the hangar of the Resolute, the flagship of General Skywalker.[7]
[edit] Battle of Geonosis
On Geonosis the ship was used as a troop transport to quickly deploy clone troopers to the surface of Geonosis. The gunship was one of the lucky ones, many of the other gunships were shot down by the Geonosian proton cannons, LR1K sonic cannons and starfighters.[8]
