Ye-4 gunship

Ye-4 Gunships were heavily armed gunships employed by the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War.

Two vertical wings protruded from the top and bottom of the ship's rear. It was armed with seven turret weapons that could effortlessly destroy enemy starfighters. Two of its weapons were forward-firing, four were able to fire in a 180 degree arc above the ship while the last was mounted in the back and could attack pursuing crafts. This left the ship's bottom uncovered and made it its weak spot.

Behind the scenes
Ye-4 Gunships, also called gunboats, are mid-sized NPC ships in Star Wars Galaxies. They are mainly found in Deep space and the Kessel system, but occasionally appear in other star systems too. The Ye-4 is one of the most dangerous enemies in the space part of the game.

The ship's design seems to be based on Sienar Fleet Systems' Lambda-class T-4a shuttle.
