Renatta Needle Ship
this swift racing ship was developed by Renatta Racing Systems during the last centuries of the Old Republic. Much of their power was derived from the use of Tobal lenses in the photon drive systems, a fact that also made the ships hard to maintain. The Tobal lens was dangerous to handle, and was extremely difficult to replace on the open market. Because of this, Renatta Racing System eventually went bankrupt. The needle ships, however, remained popular with collectors and racers, and commanded a high price if the Tobal lens was still intact.
