Imperial submarine/Legends

IMPERIAL SUBMARINE

The sleek imperial submarine was used by the Galactic Empire on the lush planet of Dubrillion to defend the ocean-based super laser against the Y-Wing bombers in the Rebel assault on the planet.

The Rebel fleet, lead by Crix Madine, were previously investigating a supposed research facility on Dubrillion's sister planet, Distrillion. Rogue squadron, lead by Wedge Antilles rushed to the surface of Dubrillion as the fleet passed, as the superlaser on the surface was staging a devastating attack on the fleet.

The imperial submarines, supposedly manufactured at the factory in and deployed from the aquatic facility of Dubrillion were vital in the empire's defensive forces, able to quickly emerge to the water's surface and attack the alliance's aerial forces using powerful homing missiles. They were able to scoot across the surface at amazing speeds, and were difficult to spot from high in the air. A fighter or bomber would have to fly very low in order to eflict the most damage upon the submarine. This however gave the submarines a clear and easy shot at any incoming attackers.
