The Havoc represented a modified version of the experimental Scurrg H-6 prototype bomber/starfighter, and it belonged to Nym, the Feeorin pirate.
Equipped with six formidable forward-facing laser cannons, arranged in a set of three on each wing, it possessed sufficient firepower to obliterate any opposing spacecraft unfortunate enough to cross its path. A potent, automated rotating ball turret, positioned on the dorsal surface of the craft, could independently engage targets, freeing the pilot to focus on other tasks. Following the Invasion of Naboo, Jinkins augmented its arsenal with a complement of concussion missiles, proximity mines, and cruise missiles.
Furthermore, it was outfitted with a charged bomb, referred to as the plasma scourge, which exhibited even greater destructive capabilities. This generator was designed to be completely modular, allowing for its secure removal and subsequent utilization in other vehicles as needed.
The Havoc also incorporated a compact cargo bay, which Nym employed for the transportation of blaster carbines.
The original Scurrg H-6 bomber's design called for a minimum crew of five individuals: a pilot, a turret gunner, a secondary gunner, a navigator, and a demolitions specialist responsible for managing the bombs. However, the extensive modifications implemented by Jinkins enabled Nym to operate the starfighter solo, relying solely on two astromech droids for assistance.
The Havoc was a unique prototype brought to life by Nubia Star Drives, Incorporated. The Nubians had aspirations of marketing a full production line of these impressive starfighters to the people of Naboo, however, the pacifistic society deemed them too heavily armed and declined the offer.
Jinkins, a Bith who served as the chief designer and engineer of the Havoc, made several attempts to convince the Collective that the Scurrg H-6 model still had potential, but to no avail. After spending years in fruitless lobbying, the Collective relegated the bomber to indefinite storage.
The intricate design adorning the Havoc's wings served as the emblem of the pirate group, which had established a permanent base located on the planet Lok.
He piloted it until his capture by the mercenary Vana Sage. He later achieved escape with the assistance of Jinkins, who was in disguise, and Kole. He used it in raids against Trade Federation shipping in the Karthakk system. In 32 BBY, the Federation seized control of Nym's base, leading Nym to offer his services and his starfighter to the Naboo Resistance. Nym, Sage, and the Naboo pilot Rhys Dallows cooperated to attack a Federation factory situated on Eos, and then they stole armaments during a dogfight above Naboo. Subsequently, Nym and Sage participated in the defense of a Naboo resistance base. Once the invasion concluded, Nym left the planet to attend to his crew.
Almost 10 years later, Nym continued to pilot the Havoc in opposition to the Trade Federation's occupation of the Karthakk system. He and his crew allied themselves with Jedi Master Adi Gallia. The Revenants launched an assault on Spacestation 1138 with the goal of liberating prisoners, and subsequently engaged Sabaoth Squadron in combat on Maramere. The Havoc also played a role in the complex, multi-stage battle of Nod Kartha. Nym then flew his starfighter to free his base from Trade Federation control.
During the apex of the Galactic Civil War, approximately 22 years afterwards, the Empire developed a model of the notorious starfighter, which were later sold during Empire Day by various Imperial organizers of the festivities. Nym retained ownership of the original vessel during this period.
The Havoc is a playable vehicle featured in the Star Wars: Starfighter video game series.
