- "We're taking this junker? We'd be better off with that big bug."
"Get aboard and prime the engines… assuming it has engines." - ―Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker commandeer the Twilight during the Battle of Teth
The G9 Rigger-class light freighter,[2] or simply the G9 Rigger freighter was a model of freighter manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and used during the Clone Wars. Its only weapons were small blaster cannons attached to the wings and top of the freighter. Jedi General Anakin Skywalker acquired a G9 Rigger, the Twilight, during the Battle of Teth and kept it as a personal project throughout the war, periodically modifying it and making repairs,[1] until its eventual destruction at the hands of the Shadow Collective.[10]
During the Imperial Era, the Bridger family used a G9 called the Sunburst. In the years following the Battle of Yavin, the Hutt Clan operated G9s, using them to transport contraband to their numerous clients via contraband trade ports, including a cell of the Rebel Alliance which operated on Tatooine.[6] The Hackjackers, a gang of thieves, also made use of a G9.[9]
