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 to offer hyperspace travel to starfighters that were too small to allow for an onboard hyperdrive.
The Syluire-45 was an improvement over its predecessor, the Syluire-31 hyperspace docking ring. The two designs differed due to the addition of four additional acceleration 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. But the six-engine variant was primarily designed to work in conjunction with the Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor, though it was sometimes used by the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter.
