Lightmaker

"Corvette Five locked on target. Prepare for impact!."

- Kado Oquoné

The Lightmaker, also known by its callsign, "Corvette Five," was a Hammerhead corvette that served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic's fleet. Before it was known as the Lightmaker the ship was one of three Hammerhead corvettes that was sent by Senator Bail Organa to reinforce Commander Jun Sato's unit of The rebellion. The ship was stolen by the Spectres during a raid on the planet of Lothal.

Under the captaincy of Kado Oquoné, it participated in the Battle of Scarif. After being flanked by two Star Destroyers and badly damaged, the Lightmaker withdrew from the field of fire to guard the line of retreat. Admiral Raddus later ordered Oquoné to ram his corvette into the side of the disabled Star Destroyer Persecutor, causing it to crash into the Star Destroyer Intimidator and then into the Shield Gate protecting Scarif.

Behind the scenes
Visual effects supervisor John Knoll mentioned there was much back-and-forth about whether the crew survived; cutting to shots of escape pods were deemed distracting by Gareth Edwards, so ILM merely implied they survived by not having the pods present during the collision of the disabled Star Destroyer with the Shield Gate. However, given the Death Star fires on the position where the pods would land, it's still unlikely any of the Lightmaker's crew survived.

Later on it was confirmed by Pablo Hidalgo that the ship is one of the three Hammerhead corvettes given by Princess Leia to the Spectres.
