Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Rule Book

GAT-12H SKI PRAY BLAST BOAT

Another pre-Clone Wars design, Sienar Fleet Systems'
Skipray Blastboat is a heavily armed and armored
patrol craft and gunboat descended from the ancient
Turbostorm-class gunships used by the Old Republic.
Officially listed as a patrol boat in SFS advertising, the
Skipray seems to defy classification. Slightly larger
than a typical heavy starfighter, these ships consist of
a narrow, heavily reinforced and armored forward hull
section and an aft rotating wing and pylon section. The
forward section houses the four crew in a reinforced
command cabin. Two short canards angle down from
the sides of the cockpit, each equipped with a Siep-lrol
Omni-Vu sensor array that gives the Skipray exception-
al battlespace awareness. The forward hull section also
houses the majority of the ship's weapons systems,
with an ion cannon, proton torpedo launcher, and con-
cussion missile launcher clustered in the nose and a
turret-mounted twin laser cannon aft of the cockpit
on the ship's dorsal ridge. The rotating wing assembly
that makes up the aft third of the ship consists of two
swept-forward wings connected to an armored collar
rotating around the ship's powerful single ion engine.
The wings are deployed in a vertical configuration for
flight and rotate horizontally for landing, and each is
tipped with an ion cannon.

Although it was initially designed for use by the Impe-

rial Navy as a heavy, hyperspace-capable starfighter, it

was largely rejected by the Admiralty as it didn't fit into

the Navy's rigid order of battle, which at the time es-

chewed heavy, multi-crewed fighters. In response, SFS

began selling the Skipray on the open market. There it

garnered a loyal following among both planetary defense

forces and the various corporate, mercenary, and pirate

fleets that operate in the Outer Rim. Skiprays make a

deadly and competent patrol and anti-shipping vessels,

and can easily threaten ships many times their size.
