Clutch

An "ugly", this ship was built from the main ball cockpit of a TIE fighter and had three angular blades about 120 degrees apart. The bottom two served as landing gearswhile the third came over the top. It retained the twin lasers under the cockpit and sported an ion cannon on the top blade. It had basic shields and side viewports cut into the hull to provide greater visibility to the pilot.

Affectionately called "clutches" by New Republic fighters, they are slightly more manuverable than the standard X-wing fighter. Due to the low cost of manufacture it was favored by smugglers and pirates.

Corran Horn ran into them while searching for the Star Destroyer Invidious. They launched from the modified bulk freighter Booty Full while attempting to rob the luxury liner Glimmerstar.
