- "Target like that…sounds like a job for Luke Skywalker. What'd you say before the Death Star run? Just like knocking down Loth-cats in a T-13?"
"Close enough. I'm on it, Wedge." - ―Wedge Antilles and Luke Skywalker
T-13 Airspeeders were airspeeders that were phased out of service after the T-16 skyhopper became popular amongst many individuals. The T-13 was used commonly for police and militia forces in the Mid Rim and Outer Rim Territories, and was popularly used by smugglers, criminals and the Rebel Alliance.[1]
Whilst battling the Galactic Empire on the planet Ab Dalis, rebel Wedge Antilles asked Luke Skywalker what he had said before the Battle of Yavin,[2] when Skywalker had to fly down a trench on the Death Star and fire into a two meter target to destroy the space station,[3] after a similar situation presented itself as being required on Ab Dalis. Antilles then added what he thought Skywalker had said, that it would just be like knocking down Loth-cats on a T-13. Skywalker replied that it was close enough and that he would carry out the task.[2]
