Dianoga (starship)

This article is about the attack ship. You may be looking for the starfighter or the creature.

The Dianoga was a modified attack ship operated by the space pirate Gir Kybo Ren-Cha, several years before the Battle of Yavin.

Characteristics

The make and model of the Dianoga was unknown, but it was armed with at least two laser cannons. Not to be confused with the Dianoga starfighter, Captain Kybo's ship appeared to possess a sturdy battering ram, capable of hitting a light freighter at full speed. It also had a small docking tube that could melt the hull of the underside of a targeted ship, allowing for the docking and capture of the target and its contents.

History

When flying into battle, Captain Kybo was always accompanied by stolen and modified TIE/ln starfighters, piloted by his henchmen. He used the Dianoga once to attack a freighter piloted by a young woman named Jessica Meade.
