Ahsoka Tano's Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor

The Delta-7B Aethersprite-class Jedi starfighter used by Anakin Skywalker's Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, during the Clone Wars was red with a white emblem of the Jedi Order covering the entire hull of the ship. The ship was armed with dual laser cannons, and carried an astromech droid for astrogation and on-board repair. The ship was modified to enhance systems used during starfighter combat.

History


Ahsoka flew as Blue Leader with R7-A7 in her Delta-7B during the Battle of Ryloth in the years of the Clone Wars, and later helped her master fight Hyena-class droid bombers above Lessu while Mace Windu and Cham Syndulla fought to enter the city.

Ahsoka later used the fighter to break through the Separatist blockade of Umbara while Generals Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi invaded the planet.

Behind the scenes


WizKids Games, before its operations were discontinued by The Topps Company, Inc., provided a sneak peak at Ahsoka's Delta-7B as a game piece in an expansion of the Star Wars PocketModel TCG game before it debuted in "Storm Over Ryloth," the 19th episode in Season One of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated television TV series.

A LEGO set called "Ahsoka's Starfighter and Vulture Droid" was also produced that featured Ahsoka's starfighter—along with a Vulture droid—in late December 2008, months before its television appearance.

Ahsoka's Delta-7B has hull graphics identical in all but color to Saesee Tiin's Delta-7B. This is similar to the case in which Adi Gallia's Delta-7B and Plo Koon's Blade of Dorin feature like graphics with different color schemes, and suggests that the production team of The Clone Wars television series reused graphics.
