Legend

this unique starfighter design was used by General Grievous during the height of the Clone Wars. Designed by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies, the Belbullab-22 had a streamlined central fuselage that measured 11.4 meters in length, with the cockpit mounted at the rear of the ship. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the Bebullab-22 measured just 6.7 meters in length. Two stubby wings connected the main drive pods to the fuselage, and a dual blaster cannon was mounted atop each wing. Note that the Star Wars Databank indicates that the weapons of the Belbullab-22 were triple blasters. A secondary missile launcher provided additional firepower. The Belbullab-22 was protected by impervium plating, a rarity at the time because most impervium was controlled by the Old Republic for the production of clone trooper armor. General Grievous' Belbullab-22 was captured by Obi-Wan Kenobi on Utapau, after the Jedi Master managed to destroy the General and avoid being killed by the clone troops led by Commander Cody. Obi-Wan was pleasantly surprised to find that the ship was equipped with a hyperdrive.
