"Anakin! I have two droid fighters on my tail and I can't shake them!"

―Obi-Wan Kenobi, to Anakin Skywalker

This Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor was the personal starfighter of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi during the early days of the Clone Wars.

History

Kenobi's Delta-7B linked with a Syluire-31 hyperspace docking ring

"All the navigational controls have been overridden! It's like riding a comet!"

―Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan flew alongside Anakin's Delta-7B in the Battle of Christophsis. He then piloted the craft to negotiate with Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine, and fought in the Battle of Teth.

Later, Obi-Wan flew the Delta-7B again with Anakin's fighter again, as they led Ghost Squadron during the Battle of Nexus Ortai. However, the Republic withdrew when, after both sides sustained heavy casualties, the CIS brought reinforcements out of hyperspace. At some point during the Clone Wars, he used this ship for transport to Mandalore to inspect rumors that Duchess Satine Kryze was leading the New Mandalorians to war against the Republic.

Behind the scenes

WizKids, Inc., before its operations were discontinued by The Topps Company, Inc., provided a sneak peak at Obi-Wan's Delta-7B as a game piece in the Clone Wars expansion.

As with Plo Koon's Blade of Dorin and Adi Gallia's Delta-7B along with Ahsoka Tano's Delta-7B and Saesee Tiin's Delta-7B, the hull graphics design on Kenobi's ship was later reused on Barriss Offee's Delta-7B just with a different color scheme.
