CharacteristicsEdit

Two vertical stabilizers protruded from the top and bottom of the ship's rear. It was armed with six turret weapons that could effortlessly destroy enemy starfighters. Two of its weapons were forward-firing, two were able to fire in a 180 degree arc above the ship, one was mounted aft to fire at pursuing vessels, while the last was mounted under the cockpit section to cover the gunship's belly.

The ship's design was similar to Sienar Fleet Systems' Sentinel-class landing craft.

HistoryEdit

Ye-4 gunships were designed by Sienar Fleet Systems specifically for patrolling the Kessel system.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

Ye-4 gunships, also called gunboats, are mid-sized ships in Star Wars Galaxies. They are mainly found in deep space and the Kessel system, but occasionally appear in other star systems, too. The Ye-4 is one of the most dangerous NPC enemies in the space part of the game.

With the introduction of Chapter 8 in January 2008 the Ye-4 became a multiplayer ship available to Imperial ace pilots.
