The VF-72 gunner ship was a model of military gunship used by the time of the New Republic. In 34 ABY, the mechanics Tamara Ryvora and Kazuda Xiono visited the loading docks of the supertanker fuel depot Colossus to acquire a CoMar Tri-Tracker chip in order to repair the station's anti-aircraft cannons. While at the docks, Ryvora theorized to the scavenger Synara San that such a chip could be salvaged from a VF-72 gunner ship or a Y-wing starfighter pulled from the oceans of the planet Castilon.
A VF-72 gunner ship was first mentioned in "Synara's Score," the eighth episode of the first season of the animated television series Star Wars Resistance, which aired on November 18, 2018. The vehicle is a reference to VF-72, the designation of an aviation unit used by the United States Navy during World War II.
