Kamikaze

Kamikaze was a tactic in which one starfighter, capital ship, or other vehicle, often loaded with explosives, would deliberately ram a target, often causing massive damage.

Examples

 * During the Battle of Ryloth, Anakin Skywalker used the heavy damaged Defender to ram into Mar Tuuk's Flagship.


 * During the Battle of Sullust, TJ-912 ordered one of her Hyena-class bombers to make a suicide run on the hangar of a Providence-class carrier/destroyer in order to kill Ventress, which had a confrontation with the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.


 * The Renown, a derelict Venator-class Star Destroyer, was hijacked by various CIS droids, equipped with Rhydonium canisters, and then sent on a collision course with the space station Valor, with D-squad being the only ones able to prevent the attack.


 * During the Battle of Atollon, Commander Jun Sato rams Phoenix Nest into Admiral Kassius Konstantine's Interdictor-class Star Destroyer to allow Ezra Bridger to escape so that he can get help from Sabine Wren.


 * In the Battle of Endor, a Rebel pilot, Green Leader Arvel Crynyd, piloted his severely damaged A-wing into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer the Executor. This sent the massive vessel straight into a doomed collision with the Death Star II.


 * During the Attack on the Resistance fleet, after the Supremacy started shooting down the U-55 orbital loadlifters, Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo used the Raddus to ram it into the Mega-class Star Dreadnought at lightspeed, destroying itself and several of the escorting Resurgent-class Star Destroyers in the process.
