It was roughly twice as large as a CR90 corvette,[4] and it had thirteen engines that were arranged in the unique Drabor Configuration.[5]
Behind the scenes

- ↑ Halcyon Legacy 1 establishes that the Halcyon was built 275 years before the First Order-Resistance War, which was instigated due to the Hosnian Cataclysm. According to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, the Starkiller Incident is dated to 34 ABY. Thus, simple arithmetic shows that the Halcyon was built approximately in 241 BBY.
