Solar fin

The solar fin was a component of the Tantive IV.

Behind the scenes
In the novelization and comic adaptation of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope the Tantive IV was damaged by a hit to the "principal solar fin" in the novel, and "main solar fin" in the comic. In the film the final shot went to the sensor array, and solar fins were not mentioned.
