Combat Utility Vehicles were manufactured by BTS Enterprises and used by the Galactic Empire.
Characteristics[]
During battles, these craft could reload the warhead armament of starfighters and Missile Boats and repair damaged warships. Each ship was 15 meters long and required a single pilot. The craft was equipped with a hyperdrive, two laser cannons, and two ion cannons; however, it lacked shields.
Behind the scenes[]
In the original TIE Fighter combat chamber and missions, transports (TRN) and tugs were used as repair/rearm vehicles. The Defender of the Empire expansion introduced the dedicated Combat Utility Vehicle for this purpose.
