Imperial submarine/Legends

"The submarines are surfacing and attacking our bombers!"

- Wedge Antilles during the Battle of Dubrillion

The sleek Imperial submarine was used by the Galactic Empire on the planet Dubrillion to defend the ocean-based superlaser against the Y-wing bombers and the X-wing starfighters in the Rebel assault on the planet.

The Rebel fleet, lead by Crix Madine, was previously investigating a supposed research facility on Dubrillion's sister planet, Destrillion. Rogue Squadron, lead by Wedge Antilles, rushed to the surface of Dubrillion as the superlaser on the surface was staging a devastating attack on the fleet.

The Imperial submarines deployed from the aquatic facility on Dubrillion were vital in the Empire's defensive forces, able to quickly emerge to the water's surface and attack the Alliance's aerial forces using powerful homing missiles, since there were no enemy aquatic forces. They were able to scoot across the surface at amazing speeds, and were difficult to spot from high in the air. Though the submarines did not have any shields, a starfighter or bomber would have to fly very low in order to afflict any damage upon the submarine. This, however, gave the submarines a clear and easy shot at any incoming attackers.
