Syluire-45 hyperspace transport ring
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Syluire-45 hyperspace transport ring was a hyperdrive ring that was produced by TransGalMeg Industries towards the end of the Clone Wars. It was designed as a to offer hyperspace travel to starfighters that were too small to allow for an onboard hyperdrive, and was the successor to the Syluire-31 hyperspace docking ring.
With the introduction of the new Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor, The Syluire-45 was developed as an improvement over its predecessor, which was designed for the previous Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor. The two designs differed due to the addition of four additional accelartor pods. Three pods were located on each side of the ring, which was split in half by the socket which connected the fighter to the ring. Syluire-type hyperspace rings were designed to be adapted to fit a number of Jedi and Republic starfighters. Although the new six-engine variant was primarily designed to work in conjunction with the Actis class interceptors, it was also used infrequently by the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter.
