- "Well, here I am. Tell me about this new weapon."
"You're looking at it."
"I'm looking at what?"
"Two steps forward and you'd actually be kissing it. It's a stealth ship." - ―Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi
The stealth ship was an experimental vessel developed by the Galactic Republic and manufactured by Sienar Design Systems during the Clone Wars. Equipped with a cloaking device that rendered it invisible, the prototype stealth ship was used during the Battle of Christophsis by Jedi General Anakin Skywalker. Originally tasked with sneaking past the Separatist blockade of the planet to deliver relief supplies to Senator Bail Organa on the surface,[1] Skywalker instead used the ship to bring down Separatist Admiral Trench's command ship, the Invincible.[3]
After the Clone Wars, the design of Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's personal starship, the Carrion Spike, was based off of this stealth ship.[5]
