Stealth ships were starships equipped with cloaking devices or other stealth technology to remain hidden. They were typically larger in starship design, although smaller vessels outfitted with cloaking equipment did exist throughout galactic history.[1]

History

The TIE Phantom (pictured halfway cloaked) was a stealth starfighter used by the Galactic Empire and proved a starfighter-class vehicle could become a stealth ship.

During the Naboo Crisis, Sith apprentice Darth Maul flew the stealth ship Scimitar.[2] Early in the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic fielded[1] the IPV-2C Stealth Corvette,[3] a prototype stealth ship, at the Battle of Christophsis.[1] The Carrion Spike, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's personal corvette, was based on the Stealth Corvette and thus had a state-of-the-art cloaking device.[4]

During the Imperial Era, a secret research base on Imdaar Alpha managed to produce the cloaking-device equipped TIE/ph "Phantom" Multi-Role Stealth Starfighter, which proved to the galaxy it was possible to make a starfighter-class vessel outfitted with advanced cloaking technology.[5] Accordingly entering service as the Galactic Empire's first true stealth starfighter and produced by Sienar Fleet Systems, the fighter entered Imperial service as part of the regime's Imperial Starfighter Corps.[6]
