- "It seems Senator Organa has found a ship works sympathetic to our cause, and willing to manufacture more of these B-wings in secret."
"Project Shantipole will continue under my supervision, of course." - ―Jun Sato and Quarrie
Project Shantipole was a venture devised by the Mon Calamari master engineer Quarrie[1] to develop a blockade buster starfighter.[3] Based on the planet Shantipole, the project's major output was the "Blade Wing" Prototype B6. After it successfully broke the Imperial blockade of Ibaar in the year 4 BBY, Senator Bail Organa found[1] Slayn & Korpil,[4] a shipwright sympathetic to the rebellion, was willing to manufacture more of the starfighter in secret under Quarrie's supervision,[1] which eventually gave birth to the A/SF-01 B-wing starfighter.[5]
Behind the scenes[]
The canon Project Shantipole is initiated years earlier than its Legends counterpart: the Shantipole Project, which operated on an asteroid in the Roche asteroid field.
