Anakin Skywalker's Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor

Anakin Skywalker's Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor was flown by him during the last part of the Clone Wars. Painted with yellow markings similar to his previous Delta-7B and the Podracer he piloted as a child, the ship was easily identified as the starfighter of the famous general.

History


With the arrival of the new interceptors, Anakin began using this starfighter instead of his yellow Delta-7B. He flew his Eta-2 in numerous battles during the tail end of the Clone Wars, proving time and again his superiority as a pilot. Often at his side was his former Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, in a gray and maroon-colored Eta-2 interceptor. Although he was impressed with Anakin's skill, Obi-Wan often remarked on Anakin's reckless piloting. Obi-Wan and other Jedi were also concerned about Anakin's obsession and possessive attitude toward the ships he had for personal use. Saesee Tiin, however, often encouraged the young Jedi knight to continue making modifications and enhancements to his ships.

During the assault on the Invisible Hand, Anakin used his interceptor's weapons to disable the Hand's shields. Anakin then crash-landed his ship inside that starship's hangar bay, and it was likely destroyed as the infamous Confederate warship plummeted into the atmosphere of Coruscant.

After Anakin became Darth Vader, he flew an Eta-2 interceptor that was colored black, keeping several identical craft in reserve.
