Rogue-class Porax-38 starfighter

"I want a Rogue-class starfighter, with elite weapons, cloaking device, the works. Oh, and triple my usual rate."

―Cad Bane's demand for pulling off a dangerous job for Darth Sidious^[2]

The Rogue-class Porax-38 starfighter was a starfighter model adapted from the Utapauan Porax-38 starfighter by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.

History

Rogue-class fighters flown by IG-100 MagnaGuards — *Rogue*-class fighters flown by IG-100 MagnaGuards

During the Clone Wars, when Anakin Skywalker arrived at Tatooine to return Rotta to Jabba Desilijic Tiure, the Twilight he appropriated from Asajj Ventress was attacked by a pair of Rogues piloted by IG-100 MagnaGuards, who disabled it before being destroyed themselves.^[3]

Several of these starfighters were stored aboard Skytop Station prior to its destruction, likely for defense. All Rogue-class starfighters aboard were destroyed with the rest of the station.

Bounty hunter Cad Bane also owned a Rogue. It was heavily modified and was called Xanadu Blood. The Confederacy gave it to Bane as a partial payment for his work on their behalf.

Behind the scenes

Although the starfighter seen in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series greatly resembles the Porax-38 starfighter model, it was mentioned as a "Rogue-class starfighter" in the episode "Holocron Heist." The 2011 publication Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Incredible Vehicles eventually retconed all of the Porax-38's appearances in The Clone Wars by identifying the Rogue-class as an entirely different model.
