- "Welcome aboard the Ark Angel, sir Darth Vader. Big fan. Huge!"
- ―Aphra welcoming Darth Vader aboard her ship
The Ark Angel was a modified HK heavy-duty lifter[1] that belonged to Aphra, a rogue archaeologist.[4] Aphra described the Ark Angel as a heavy duty lifter.[5] The ship was destroyed during the Battle of Vrogas Vas, but was rebuilt later on.[2]
Behind the scenes
Edit
Just as Chelli Lona Aphra was conceived as the archaeological antithesis of Indiana Jones, the title character of Lucasfilm Ltd.'s Indiana Jones franchise, the Ark Angel was named after the Ark of the Covenant, the title MacGuffin of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark.[8]
