Legend

this was a 15.2-meter-long starship produced by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective on the planet Geonosis, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Similar in shape to the Nantex-class fighter, the Punworcca 116-class sloop had twin hulls sitting above and below the main fuselage. However, the Punworcca 116 provided standing room for ten beings in its hold, along with cockpit space for a droid pilot. The cockpit was a clear sphere located at the front of the fuselage, but could be replaced with a weapon emplacement if cockpit functions were rerouted to the hold. While not fully armed, the sloop was equipped with 84 narros tractor/repulsor beams mounted along the twin prows, which could be used to deflect a projectile attack. Like the Nantex-class fighter, the Punworcca 116-class sloop was designed for atmospheric and in-system use. It could attain speeds near 1,600 kilometers per hour in atmosphere.
