The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

"Thank you for the loan of your starfighter."
"Don't mention it."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Aayla Secura[4]

Aayla Secura flew an Eta-2 Actis-class Jedi interceptor with blue markings for the Galactic Republic during the later years of the Clone Wars.

Description

Aayla Secura's Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor was marked with blue striping and modified for higher maneuverability during atmospheric flight. The craft was armed with laser cannons and proton torpedos, and used an astromech droid for astrogation and on-board repairs.[2][1]

History

"That's not his fighter—but that has to be Obi-Wan."
―Anakin Skywalker, to Padmé Amidala[3]

Obi-Wan Kenobi borrowing Secura's interceptor

Aayla Secura's extensively used her Eta-2 during the latter part of the Clone Wars. As a Jedi Knight, she commanded clone troops in combat as a Republic General, yet on many intelligence-gathering missions and covert operations using her interceptor. Avoiding dogfights, she used her starfighter to protect Republic capital ships by orchestrating careful defensive formations and chaotic breaks that would confuse enemy fighter screens.[1]

One such mission took her to Trigalis, where she assisted Obi-Wan Kenobi in his hunt for Asajj Ventress. Then, when the Jedi Council gave Obi-Wan permission to pursue Ventress to Naboo, Aayla lent her ship to him—along with the astromech droid assigned to her, R4-G9. Before he left, Obi-Wan promised Secura that he would bring the ship back "in one piece."[4][5]

Behind the scenes

While this ship has been officially identified as Aayla Secura's interceptor, the Star Wars: Obsession series never depicted her flying it.[4]
