Combat Utility Vehicles were manufactured by BTS Enterprises and used by the Galactic Empire.
Characteristics
During battles, these craft could reload the warhead armament of starfighters and Missile Boats and repair damaged warships. Each ship was 15 meters long and required a single pilot. The craft was equipped with a hyperdrive, two laser cannons, and two ion cannons; however, it lacked shields.
Behind the scenes
In the original TIE Fighter combat chamber and missions, transports (TRN) and tugs were used as repair/rearm vehicles. The Defender of the Empire expansion introduced the dedicated Combat Utility Vehicle for this purpose.
