Belbullab-22 starfighter/Legends

The Belbullab-22 starfighter, also known as the CIS strike bomber, was a heavy fighter constructed by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies. The Confederacy of Independent Systems often used it as a heavy assault craft and bomber. General Grievous flew a battle-worn Belbullab-22 during the Clone Wars.

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. Designed for a single pilot, the Belbullab featured a shield generator.

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.

After his confrontation with Kenobi on Utapau, Grievous attempted to escape to his starfighter, but was defeated shortly after. After Grievous' defeat on Utapau, Obi-Wan 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.
