Background and History

The GAT-12h Skipray Blastboat was introduced shortly before the Battle of Yavin. In the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, the Skipray Blastboat was the smallest hyperspace-capable starship in the Imperial Navy. While small enough to be carried aboard capital ships as a starfighter, its immense power output, weaponry, and shielding caused some registries to designate it as a capital ship itself.
