The YT-5100 Shriek-class bomber represents a vessel manufactured by Corellian engineering, seeing action during the conflict known as the Second Galactic Civil War.
Structurally, these craft bore a resemblance to scaled-down versions of the YT-1300 light freighters. In terms of weaponry, they were equipped with forward-facing torpedo launchers, concussion missiles, a quad laser cannon situated on the dorsal side, and a ventral bomb/spotter droid deployment system. These bombers utilized a trio of engines for propulsion and featured a black exterior paint scheme. The pilots operating these vessels were distinguished by their green and black/white flight suits. During their initial combat engagement, the Shriek-class's unfamiliarity caused Galactic Alliance sensors to misidentify it merely as a YT-series derivative.
By the year 40 ABY, the total number of these bombers was limited to ten advanced prototypes along with a handful of earlier iterations. The Galactic Alliance suffered from a lack of information regarding these new bombers, a fact that the Corellians exploited. A number of these bombers were grouped together to form Panther Flight for the Battle of Tralus, with Han Solo and Wedge Antilles among those piloting two of the crafts.
