| Interdictor-class Cruiser: A valuable addition to the Imperial Navy's fleet, this 600-meter-long star cruiseris built on a standard heavy cruiser hull but is customized with devices that prevent nearby ships from escapinginto hyperspace. Interdictor-class cruisers, or Immobilizer 418 cruisers, at first appearance look like small Star Destroyers, but they're recognizable because of four large globes that house gravity-well projectors that mimic a mass in space and thus interdict hyperspace travel. The ships also have twenty quad laser cannons for short-range combat against other capital ships. Imperial strategy is to place Interdictors on the perimeter of a battle area to prevent Rebel ships from escaping. The only evasive opprotunity is in the minute or so it takes for the well generators to charge. Grand Admiral Thrawn used Interdictors as ambush ships and to cut off Rebel escape routes. He nearly captured Luke Skywalker by using an Interdictor to force Skywalker's X-wing back to realspace; Luke escaped when, in a desperate move, he reversed his ships acceleration compensators while simultaneously firing a pair of proton torpedoes. Later, Thrawn tried to use an Interdictor above Myrkr to capture ture smuggler Talon Karrde and his ship, the Wild Karrde. However, a sudden burst of intuition from Mara Jade saved Karrde when she ordered the ship to leave the system just before Thrawn appeared. |

| Lambda-class Shuttle: An Imperial cargo and passenger shuttle, its three wings make it resemble an inverted Y in flight, on landing the two lower wings fold up and the shuttle lands on two legs. A lower hatch in the Lambda-class shuttle operates as a ramp for loading and unloading cargo and up to twenty passengers and crew. The ships have hyperdrives, reinforced hulls, and multiple blaster and laser cannons. Imperial government officials favored the Lambda-class shuttles because of their combat worthiness and interior space. Such ships were used by the Emperor himself. The Rebel Alliance used a stolen shuttle, the Tydirium, to deliver a commando assault team to the forest moon of Endor. |

| Slave I: A highly modified Firespray-class patrol and attack ship, it belongs to the much-feared bounty hunter Boba Fett. Fett has rebuilt and customized the outdated Slave I. The vessel boasts several hidden weapon systems, a dedicated sensor-masking and tracking system, interior prisoner cages, reinforced armor plating, and powerful shield generators, all designed to help Fett fend off attackers and to disable the ships of his quarry. The ship lands with its engines down, although in flight, it effectively flies standing up. With two powerful drive engines and generators, Slave I has the speed of an Alliance Y-wing fighter. The rest of the interior is cramped, with only enough room for Fett's living quarters, his equipment locker, and six prisoner cages, including one to contain Force-using individuals. The bottom rear section of the hull holds fully rotating twin blaster cannons. Slave I also conceals a foward-firing concussion missile launcher and ion cannon, as well as a turret-mounted tractor beam projector and a pair of turret-mounted proton torpedo launchers. The ship's illegal sensor-masking and jamming system allows it to slip through sensor grids undetected. Dummy proton torpedoes mounted with homing beacons and trackers enable Fett to track ships eventhrough hyperspace. |
