Porax-38 starfighter

The Porax-38 (P-38) starfighter is a tough, hyperdrived equipped starfighter that appeared in the Revenge of the Sith. The P-38 is used by the Utapauns as part of the Utapau Skyforce. It also has interstellar range and is fitted with highly-effective, long distance sensor systems that provide early warning of enemy activity. These large P-38 fighters are also capable of independent hyperspace jumps, which enables them to defend Utapau far into the Tarabba Sector. Versatile thrusters, dual-reactor systems and high-capacity deflector shielding makes them a valuable asset to the Loyalist Forces.

The interstellar range of these vessles also allows them to take more punishment and they can also endure, longer, more arduous missions that tiny, fleet-based fighters like the Separatist Droid starfighters and Tri-Drodi Fighters and the Republic V-wing starfighters and Jedi Interceptors. The Porax-38 was manufactured by Buuper Torsckil Abbey Devices and has 1 crew. Its consumables are 20 days of air, fuel and food and its armament is 2 laser cannons.

During the Clone Wars, when the General Grievous's Separatist forces invaded Utapau. Tion Meddon, the Master of Utapau Port Administration orders his outnumbered, yet valuable P-38s into hiding. But with the arrival of Republic forces under General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Tion recalls his P-38s from their hidden hangars and the depths of space, to expel the Separatist forces. The Utapau Skyforce squadron that engaged the Techno Union Mankvim-814 Light Interceptors during Obi-Wan Kenobi's was led by the Utai Air Commodore Senin Vant
