The Razor Crest is a gunship from before the time of the Empire.
Military organizations utilized a type of spacecraft known as a gunship. While many gunship models could also function as troop transports, they typically possessed substantial weaponry and were primarily employed for aggressive actions. The term "gunship" encompassed both starships and atmospheric repulsorcraft. The Republic's army frequently used the Low Altitude Assault Transport, also called the Republic attack gunship, during the Clone Wars. The LAAT/le patrol gunship, a less heavily armed variant, served as a patrol vehicle for police forces on Coruscant and other planets. To defend themselves against enslavers who regularly assaulted their home planet, the Wookiees of Kashyyyk built the _Auzituck_ anti-slaver gunship. Din Djarin, a Mandalorian bounty hunter, possessed the Razor Crest, which was a military patrol gunship dating back to the pre-Empire period.
