Notes and references

  1. ↑ A new post on Fantasy Flight Games' website says that Ketsu Onyo's ship, the Shadow Caster, is a Lancer-class pursuit craft. We know from the trivia gallery for the Star Wars Rebels episode "Blood Sisters" that the Banshee is the same model as the Shadow Caster (one or the other has had some modifications, though), meaning that the Banshee is also a Lancer-class pursuit craft.
