Imperial Arrestor Cruiser

The Imperial Arrestor Cruiser was a model of cruiser used by the Galactic Empire. It was equipped with powerful tractor beam projectors, which it used to help steer traffic away fro from contruction zones. It resembled an arrow with three dish-shaped appliances affixed to the outside. When a young Han Solo tried to escape stormtroopers at the Coronet City spaceport, he saw an Imperial recruitment film that notably featured an Arrestor Cruiser.

Behind the scenes
Colin Cantwell originally pitched the design of what would become the Imperial Arrestor Cruiser directly to George Lucas to be used in the 1977 movie Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope as a Star Destroyer, but it was ultimately discarded in favor of a completely different design.

In 2018, the Arrestor was meant to make a full appearance in Solo: A Star Wars Story, but the scene was ultimately left on the cutting room's floor. However, the ship will still be featured in a future Solo-themed book, and can still briefly spotted in the movie itself, as part of a recruitment film.
