Legend

one of Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratories' prototype designs, this ship was eventually modified for use by Darth Maul. Originally designed from the Star Courier platform, the 26.5-meter-long Infiltrator was given advanced weaponry, propulsion systems, and a full-effect stygium-based cloaking device for invisibility on command. The sublight engines were X-C 2 ion arrays, while the hyperdrive was an SSDS 11-A powerplant. Weapons included six prototype laser cannons which were concealed along the side of the craft, and which could be deployed in seconds. The craft had a long, main fuselage to which was attached the ball-shaped control center aft. The wings of the craft were used to radiator the intense heat of its engines, and could be folded down during landings. The designs of the control center and the wings were later incorporated into the TIE Advanced prototype produced for Darth Vader. Darth Maul named his ship the Scimitar. It could attain speeds of 1,180 kilometers per hour in atmosphere, and was equipped with a Class 3 hyperdrive. After the Battle of Naboo, the Scimitar disappeared, and its whereabouts were never discovered.
