Following the destruction of his previous Eta-2 fighter during the Battle of Coruscant, Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Master, flew a blue Actis-class Eta-2 light interceptor before the events of the Battle of Utapau.
The Jedi High Council asked Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to find General Grievous after discovering he was hiding on Utapau. Obi-Wan, having previously lost both his red Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor and his astromech droid, R4-P17 in the Battle of Coruscant, obtained a new blue Eta-2 for this mission, along with a new astromech droid named R4-G9. Kenobi made the decision to go to Utapau first to keep Grievous occupied until Clone Commander Cody and the 212 Attack Battalion arrived aboard the Vigilance. Kenobi connected his starfighter to a Syliure-45 hyperdrive module and jumped into hyperspace, setting course for Utapau.
Upon his arrival at Pau City, Kenobi requested fuel for his starfighter from Tion Medon, the port administrator. After confirming that Grievous was indeed on Utapau, Kenobi instructed R4 to return the starfighter to the Vigilance and inform Cody that he had engaged the general. Kenobi watched as R4 and his starfighter departed the planet. Later, Kenobi would commandeer Grievous's Belbullab-22 heavy starfighter, the Soulless One, to escape the planet after barely surviving Order 66.
Obi-Wan Kenobi was the pilot and captain of the starfighter. R4-G9, Kenobi's new astromech droid, served as the ship's navigator and repair technician in case of combat damage.
