Belbullab-22 starfighter/Legends

Belbullab-22 starfighter The Belbullab-22 starfighter was a heavy fighter constructed by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies.

The Confederacy of Independent Systems often modified it to become a heavy assault craft and bomber, that model being called the Confederacy strike bomber. General Grievous flew a battle-worn Belbullab-22, Soulless One, during the Clone Wars.

Characteristics
The starfighter was bulkier and hardier than the droid starfighters employed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, with two rapid-fire triple laser cannons capable of inflicting damage equal to that dealt by a V-wing starfighter, and two powerful main ion drives. The Belbullab was designed for a single pilot.

Grievous modified his fighter with a top-of-the-line hyperdrive allowing the droid general to stay mobile on a Galaxy-wide scale. In order to remain in touch with his forces while flying his fighter, a powerful but compact HoloNet transceiver was installed onboard, allowing Grievous to slice into legitimate and pirate networks.

History
After his initial confrontation with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Utapau, Grievous attempted to escape to his starfighter, but Kenobi pursued him and Grievous was defeated in the subsequent confrontation on the landing platform. After Grievous's defeat, Kenobi fled Utapau in the general's starfighter. The Belbullab was picked up by Bail Organa's Tantive IV.

Years after the defeat of the CIS, Belbullab-22 fighters continued to roam the spacelanes during the Galactic Civil War. Many of these ships were used as elite fighters by Imperial and Rebel forces.
