Minor Vehicles In Star WarsThis article is about minor vehicles in the fictional Star Wars universe. For a list of vehicles and vessels from Star Wars see List of vehicles in Star Wars. D'kee-class Landing Ship The D'kee-class Landing Ship was used by the Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium during its invasion of Bakura in the Expanded Universe novel The Truce at Bakura. They are used to transport troops into enemy targets. It is also equipped with paralysis canisters which are dropped over a major population area from 3,000 metres above. They can cover an area of nearly 9 square metres thus crushing most resistance. Fire-ship The Fire-ship is a special starship used for putting out fires. They were designed to carry large amounts of water and douse flaming ships. These ships were deployed during the Battle of Coruscant and hosed down several Confederacy starships that fell from orbit. Hapan Battle Dragon The Hapan Battle Dragons are saucer-shaped starships used by the Hapes Cluster. They are about 500 metres long and are heavily armed with nearly 100 gun emplacements. The starship is also equipped with pulse-mass mines that stimulate a mass shadow in space to prevent jumps into hyperspace by enemy ships. Ithullan Ore Hauler The Ithullan Ore Hauler was a kilometre long vessel used by the Nessies to transport mutonium ore. The Nessies are a humanoid race that inhabite the Stenness Node Systems which was a valuable mining region. It is an unusual vehicle because it is made from the carapaces of the kilometre-long Ithullan wasps. These wasps were huge and abundant and as a result many of them are hunted by poachers. Once an Ithullan wasp dies, its body is converted into an ore hauler. The cockpit is located in its head while its thorax is fitted with stores for the precious mutonium ore. The abdomen is fitted with additional stores and engines. Their shells are strong enough to repel blaster bolts. Their main weapon is a pair of heavy turbolasers mounted in the forward section of the wasp. They were in use thousands of years before the rise of Palpatine's empire. Lwhekk-class Manufacturing Ship The Lwhekk-class Manufacturing Ship is a Ssi-Ruuk vessel used to manufacture battle droids particularly Swarm-class Battle Droids since they are easy and cheap to build. Matalock Command Cruiser The Matalock Command Cruiser are large bioships commonly found in the Yuuzhan Vong warfleet. They are use to command the Yuuzhan Vong attack forces. They resemble the Mon Calamari cruisers from a distance and are heavily armed and shielded. A Yammosk can also be fitted into the ship. Sh'ner-class Planetary Assault Carrier The Sh'ner-class Planetary Assault Carrieris important to the Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium fleet as they carry Swarm-class Battle Droids and D'kee class Landing ships used in invasions and space battles. It is weak in armour and armament and is 750 metres long. Its weapons are 6 ion cannons and 2 tractor beam projectors. The carrier also has 12 launching bays for the D'kee-class Landing Ships with 12 landing bays used for capturing enemy vessels. The carrier is also equipped with 12 entechment labs to drain prisoners of their life energies and giant batteries to store these energies. The crew consists of 60 Ssi-Ruuk who make up the command crew along with about 500 P'w'ecks which are slaves and 300 droids. Because of the large number of P'w'ecks, their Ssi-Ruuvi masters make sure that stun traps are planted in every corridor and room to ensure obedience. These stun traps can cause terrible pain to the P'w'ecks while it can kill a human. Every P'w'eck also has a neural inhibitor implanted into them. The carrier can carry 12 D'kee-class landing ships which can transport troops. Trade Federation PAC The Trade Federation PAC were used by the Trade Federation to carry battle droids. It can carry 112 battle droids folded into their space-saving configuration. It is piloted by two battle droid pilots. These transports first appeared in The Phantom Menace where they carried entire platoons of battle droids. TX-130S Fighter Tank The TX-130S Fighter Tank was an ultra- manuverable, super fast vehicle used as the Jedi Starfighter on the ground. It is equipped with fairly weak lasers and a relatively large payload of concussion missles. It has a limited speed boost to get out of tight combat situations. It is also equipped with a fairly powerful optical zoom, using this it can snipe enemies from a distance. TX-130T Fighter Tank The TX-130T Fighter Tank is an upgraded version of the TX-130S (see above), used by the Galactic Empire. Wurif-class Light Cruiser The Wurif-class Light Cruiser are the midrange ships of the Ssi-Ruuk and like the Shree-class Battle Cruiser, carry Swarm-class Battle Droids and are heavily armed.
