Punworcca 116-class interstellar sloop/Legends

The Solar Sailer was a starship that could travel on solar winds, using a large solar sail to propel the vessel through space.

The Punworcca-116 interstellar sloop was a solar sailer designed by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective of Geonosis. The seed-shaped vessel bore a resemblance to the smaller Geonosian starfighter, though the sloop had room inside for two pilots, a bunk and cargo space. Though unarmed, the solar sloop featured 84 miniature tractor beam projectors fitted to the forward prongs, which acted both as steering aids and emergancy grapple weapons.

Count Dooku recieved an interstellar sloop as a gift from his Geonosian benefactors prior to the Clone Wars. To the Geonosian sloop, Dooku added a unique and ancient solar sail acquired in the Gree Enclave. Fitted to his vessel, the solar sail propels the sailer through mysterious means; regular solar sailers use sails that unfurl to moon-like diameters, catching tachyon streams and ultraviolet lasers. An FA-4 pilot droid flew the sailer for Dooku, who was often found in the rear hold, perusing the onboard databook library.

When war erupted on Geonosis, Dooku fled to his secret hangar in the desert, intent of fleeing the massive battle between Republic and Separatist forces. Dooku was waylaid by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Yoda, and barely managed to escape into the safety of his sailer. The solar sailer left Geonosis far behind, heading for a dark rendezvous with Dooku's Master, Darth Sidious, on Coruscant.
