History
Edit
Outer Rim Sieges
Edit
- "A little toasted, but I'm okay."
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Battle of Belderone
The fighter was assigned to Kenobi shortly after his use of a previous interceptor in 19 BBY during the Outer Rim Sieges. With his astromech droid R4-P17 now ready for use with a fighter of this class, Kenobi transferred to the newer, red-hulled fighter.
A vicious fight over Belderone would see the interceptor in use against the droid fighters of the CIS. Although it sustained damage during the battle,[1] it was still in combat condition at the fight's conclusion.
During a mission against CIS leader Count Dooku some weeks later, Kenobi piloted the interceptor to Tythe, where it formed part of a taskforce to assault the planet.
Coruscant and destruction
Edit
- "Flying's for droids!"
- ―Kenobi during combat over Coruscant
Responding to a call from Coruscant reporting that the Supreme Chancellor had been kidnapped by droid leader General Grievous, Kenobi and his comrade Anakin Skywalker proceeded to the Coruscant system to mount a rescue.
Arriving insystem, Kenobi used the interceptor to impressive extent during the battle. Although formidable against droid fighters and tri-fighters, the ship was assaulted by buzz droids. The droids wreaked havoc on the interceptor, destroying Kenobi's droid R4-P17 and ruining its systems.
Although Anakin Skywalker was able to help guide Kenobi to a safe landing inside Grievous's cruiser, the ship was unfit for action. As the cruiser took fire from Republic warships, it was cleaved in two, and the hangar was destroyed; with it, Kenobi's interceptor.
