The Crystal was a heavily modified Z-95 Headhunter owned and piloted by Jaina Solo.
Characteristics
The Crystal 's modifications included a reinforced hull, a powerful hyperdrive and other enhanced propulsion systems, and provisions for up to one week of independent operation.
History
The Crystal was a gift from Jaina's father Han Solo upon her graduation from Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum.
During her first flight in the Crystal, Jaina was attacked by an insane cyborg, who inexplicably believed her antique fighter to be a new prototype. After a fierce dogfight, Jaina managed to shoot down the cyborg's X-wing.
Behind the scenes
Details about the Crystal are stated inconsistently in the source in which it appears. The story text says the fighter has four laser cannons, a proton torpedo launcher and a Class 2 hyperdrive, whereas the associated statblock attributes the fighter two groups of triple blasters, a concussion missile launcher and a Class 1 hyperdrive. The accompanying illustration shows just one pair of wingtip cannon, and its depiction of the fighter with straight wings and four engine nacelles do not match the most natural reading of references in the text to "fixed-position double wings" and a single "port maneuvering jet".
