![]() ![]() Or, if you don't believe Han, then ask Lando, who owned the ship before he lost it to Han in a game of sabacc. ![]() The Millenium Falcon is the fastest ship in the galaxy - just ask Han Solo, and he'll tell you that she " made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs." According to Han, the Falcon has a Class 0.5 hyperdrive, which is definitely the fastest canon hyperdrive. The Ossifrage, the ship that Greer Sonnel pilots in Han Solo's "The Gauntlet" race, was also an A-Wing. Notable A-Wing pilots include Arvel Crynyd, the Green Leader at the Battle of Endor, who crashed his ship into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer Executor despite the A-Wing's small size, the Executor was destroyed by the impact. The A-Wing is faster than the TIE/IN Interceptor, reaching speeds of 1300 kmph. While the A-Wing model could have a hyperdrive, the Rebel Alliance also removed some hyperdrives and modified the starfighters so that they could be lighter and faster. Later, they were also utilized by the Resistance against the First Order, and will appear in the upcoming Episode VIII. They were known to be the fastest starfighters in the Rebel fleet. A-Wings were used by the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire, most notably at the Battle of Endor and at the Battle of Jakku. The RZ-1 "A-Wing" interceptor is a starfighter developed and manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering, which also produced the Actis class interceptors used by the Jedi in the Clone Wars and the Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft used by Jango and Boba Fett. Additionally, Greer Sonnel greatly admired the ship and, given her history as a starship racer, the Mirrorbright would need to be fast. Considering Han's knowledge of ships and engines, he would undoubtedly choose the best available options for Leia and, at the time of the ship's construction, money would not be a constraint. Han Solo, along with Leia's assistant and pilot Greer Sonnel, customized the ships' weapons and engines, making it fit for a princess- and a senator. While the ship class and specifics of the Mirrorbright are not revealed in the novel, it is a "W-shaped" transport ship that has been customized to keep Leia out of the hands of her enemies - by Han Solo no less. The ship takes its name from the Alderaanian children's lullaby of the same name. Leia used the ship when she served as a Senator of the New Republic, after the Rebel Alliance's defeat of the Galactic Empire. The Mirrorbright is Princess Leia Organa's personal ship in the canonical novel Bloodline, by Claudia Gray. The Phantom's limitations were less of speed and more of long-distance travel, as it was designed to be a smaller, additional vessel that complements the Ghost. While the Phantom did not have the dexterity of many lighter crafts, it could reach speeds of 1200 kmph, making it faster than many other similarly-sized ships throughout the galaxy, including the Rebel X-Wing and the Y-Wing. It functions both as a landing craft and a starfighter for the Rebels team. The Phantom is the auxiliary starfighter that attaches to the Ghost's side. While Hera's expert pilot skills have meant that the Ghost has outrun its opponents and pulled off some incredible heists, the ship's speed is not above average. That ship is a VCX-100 model made by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, and it was modified by its owner Hera Syndulla. The Ghost's speed of 1025 kmph is around a standard speed for a light freighter. The Phantom is the shuttle-starfighter which docks on the back of the Ghost in Star Wars Rebels(2014).
