HH-87 Starhopper

The HH-87 Starhopper, also called the Hutt fighter because of its use by the Hutt Clan, or simply the starhopper, was a flexible, long-duration, single-pilot starfighter that saw extensive service. The Hutt Clans employed it from at least the High Republic Era all the way through the Clone Wars. The Zygerrian Slave Empire also utilized these starhoppers, deploying them in dogfights during the Battle of Kadavo.

In the year 4 ABY, Wedge Antilles made use of an HH-87 that formerly belonged to Gev Hessan to scout several Outer Rim planets, looking for signs of concealed Imperial strongholds. After his starhopper was seized by the ISD Vigilance above Akiva, Antilles armed it with explosives, hoping the resulting confusion would facilitate his escape. Sometime before the attack on Tuanul, Vi Moradi and her astromech droid U5-GG were captured aboard a starhopper by the First Order _Resurgent_-class Star Destroyer Absolution.

Behind the scenes

The HH-87 Starhopper was initially designed for "Escape from Kadavo," which is the thirteenth episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars' fourth season, a part of the canon. Its design took inspiration from an early concept illustration for the Imperial shuttle, which was created for the 1983 movie Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
