NTB-630 naval bomber


The NTB-630 naval bomber, alternatively referred to as the NTB-3 bomber, saw action with the Galactic Republic's naval forces during the Clone Wars in their struggle against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. This bomber model, a product of the collaborative efforts of Incom Corporation and Sublights Products Corporation, shared design elements with both the PTB-625 planetary bomber and the quicker Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter, both also products of the same manufacturing companies.

Sometime between 22 BBY and 19 BBY during the conflict, a specific NTB-630 naval bomber was piloted by the Jedi Master Wom-Nii Gnaden during an engagement within the Crombach Nebula against a Separatist Munificent-class star frigate. Tragically, his bomber collided with the frigate during the heat of battle, resulting in the death of the Jedi and leaving a visible impact mark on the starboard hull of the ship's, a testament to the event that remained throughout the war.

Behind the scenes

The NTB-630 naval bomber's initial mention within current Star Wars canon occurred in the 2018 reference publication, Star Wars: Complete Vehicles. Within the Star Wars Legends continuity, the NTB-630 naval bomber made its debut in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Incredible Cross-Sections, a 2005 reference work penned by Curtis Saxton.
