Obi-Wan Kenobi's Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor
During the waning years of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Master known as Obi-Wan Kenobi was known to fly an Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor. In an effort to save Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine during the Battle of Coruscant, Kenobi piloted this interceptor. Ultimately, the starfighter met its end, being destroyed on the Separatist flagship known as Invisible Hand.
History
Destruction of the Separatist supply storage base
The Jedi Order received intelligence regarding the location of a Separatist supply storage base nestled within an asteroid. In response, Kenobi and Master Quinlan Vos requested that Skywalker and another Jedi Knight, Akar-Deshu, join them to seize the base and its resources. The four Jedi utilized their Eta-2 starfighters to reach the base, where they confronted six vulture droids providing defense. Kenobi, Skywalker, and Vos successfully landed their starfighters at the base, while Desh returned to their Arquitens-class light cruiser to gather reinforcements.
Destruction of the Vanqor listening station
Following their unsuccessful attempt to extract the supplies from the storage base, the Jedi High Council dispatched Vos, accompanied by Kenobi and Skywalker, to spearhead an operation aimed at destroying a Separatist listening post situated on the planet Vanqor. The trio journeyed in their Eta-2s, accompanied by twenty-four Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighters. Upon their arrival at the facility, they discovered it had been abandoned, as Count Dooku had evacuated all personnel prior to their arrival. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, Vos had secretly divulged information about the operation to Dooku, as part of his scheme to operate as a double agent with the ultimate goal of reaching Darth Sidious and eradicating the Sith order once and for all.
Battle of Coruscant
In the wake of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine's abduction during the Battle of Coruscant, Kenobi took to the skies in his Eta-2 to undertake a rescue mission, accompanied by Skywalker who flew his own Eta-2. During the engagement, a vulture droid unleashed four discord missiles targeting Kenobi and Skywalker. Skywalker managed to neutralize the missiles pursuing him, the missiles targeting Kenobi deployed a swarm of Pistoeka sabotage droids that attached themselves to his vessel. These droids swiftly began disabling the ship's systems and tearing off the dome of his astromech droid R4-P17, effectively destroying her. Skywalker's attempt to dislodge the droids from Kenobi's starfighter resulted in the accidental destruction of his port-side s-foil, much to Kenobi's dismay. Skywalker then resorted to ramming Kenobi's ship to eliminate the remaining droids, succeeding except for one that managed to crawl onto his own starfighter. R2-D2 subsequently electrocuted the last droid. The duo then executed a crash landing within the Invisible Hand's hangar bay. The starfighter was ultimately destroyed when the aft section of the Invisible Hand, housing the hangar, detached from the front due to the extensive damage sustained during its atmospheric entry into Coruscant.
Kenobi later acquired a replacement for his destroyed starfighter, a new blue Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor, and was assigned a new astromech droid, R4-G9.
Crew
Obi-Wan Kenobi served as both the pilot and captain of the starfighter. R4-P17, Kenobi's astromech droid, fulfilled the roles of navigator and repair technician, addressing any damage sustained during combat.
