- "Battle droids?"
"It's an invasion army." - ―Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, upon seeing landing craft being loaded
The C-9979 landing craft, more commonly known as the Trade Federation landing ship, was a heavy transport starship used by the Trade Federation,[6] and later the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[5] The C-9979 was an elegantly designed transport manufactured by Haor Chall Engineering and was controlled by a central computer. It could take only one C-9979 to subjugate an entire susceptible world.[3]
Behind the scenes
Edit
Star Wars Encyclopedia of Starfighters and Other Vehicles establishes that the C-9979 landing craft is 210 meters in length.[3] The databank and the StarWars.com Encyclopedia had previously established that the wingspan was 149 meters in length.[4][2] Visibly, the wingspan appears to be larger than the bow to stern length of the vessel. It is unclear if the Encyclopedia of Starfighters and Other Vehicles refers to wingspan or bow to stern length.[3]
