Battlesphere/Legends

Battlesphere The battlesphere was a core ship variant used during the Clone Wars.

Characteristics
Unlike the Lucrehulk-class Core Ship, the battlesphere employed multiple reactors and was fitted with more extensive hyperwave transceivers.

Its hangar facilities had enough room for several fighter squadrons. There was also a storage room for additional battle droid parts

Outlying control stations and sensors spanned out from the central sphere. The hangar bay doors could be activated from a panel on one of these.

History


The Confederacy of Independent Systems placed a battlesphere in the atmosphere on one of the moons of Ruusan. This Skytop Station served as an important listening post for the Separatists, enabling General Grievous to launch many successful campaigns by gaining knowledge about the Republic fleet positions through the station.

Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, Ashoka Tano and several clone troopers infiltrated the station on a dual mission, to blow it up and to rescue R2-D2 who had been captured by the Trandoshan scavenger Gha Nachkt and brought on-board.
