The Starduster was Nera Dantels' personal starship, which assisted the Rebel Alliance on numerous missions.^[1]

HistoryEdit

It was the ship that smuggled the first astromech droids for use on Rebel X-wings.^[2]

The ship was later used to ship Dantels, Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and Jorin Sol to Jabiim to take part in a diplomatic mission. Unfortunately, the Jabiimi took the diplomats prisoner due to the fact that Luke's father had betrayed the Jabiimi years earlier. The Starduster was impounded along with R2-D2 and C-3PO.^[4]

Behind the scenesEdit

A ship that appears briefly in X-wing Rogue Squadron: The Phantom Affair looks very much like the Starduster.
