Anakin Skywalker's Delta-7BAethersprite-class light interceptor

Jedi KnightAnakin Skywalker flew aDelta-7BAethersprite-class light interceptor during the majority of theClone Wars.^[7]

History[]

Early use[]

Following theBattle ofGeonosis,^[7] Jedi General Anakin Skywalker used the interceptor during afirefight in theCorvair sector. Skywalker then used it to land onKudo III.^[6] Skywalker flew his interceptor alongside MasterObi-Wan Kenobi'sinterceptor during theBattle of Cristophsis.^[7]

Battle of Bothawui[]

Skywalker used his interceptor during theBattle ofBothawui againstGeneral Grievous's fleet. Skywalker ledGold Squadron and attempted to pursue Grievous' fighter, theSoulless One. Unfortunately, the interceptor was damaged by debris from the ships, and a sudden explosion knocked Skywalker unconscious. Skywalker was rescued byCaptain Rex, however,R2-D2 was left with the interceptor in the asteroid field among battle debris. The fighter was scavenged byGha Nachkt's ship, theVulture's Claw, who stole R2.^[8]

Mission to sweep outer corridor space[]

The interceptor was recovered and took on a new astromech,R3-S6. As Skywalker took the interceptor to search for a separatist spy station,^[8] R3, in reality a separatist spy,^[9] activated the interceptor's tracking device. Grievous arrived and attacked Skywalker's interceptor. Skywalker attempted to escape but R3 disabled the interceptor's weapons. Skywalker, R3 and the interceptor were then rescued by his apprenticeAhsoka Tano and theTwilight.^[8]

Mission to Skytop Station[]

Skywalker brought his interceptor with him as he hunted forSkytop Station. Upon arriving at the station, Skywalker, Tano, Captain Rex and a squad ofclone troopers jumped out of theTwilight to land on the base, leaving the starfighter onboard. Skywalker would later use the interceptor to rescue R2 from the falling station.^[9]

Battle of Ryloth[]

Skywalker flew in his starfighter, alongside Tano who was flying inher own Delta-7B, in a campaign to destroyHyena-class droid fighter/bombers which were targeting populated villages across the planet. Skywalker and Tano destroyed the last of them before they bombed thecapital city ofLessu.^[10]

Battle of Malastare[]

After the detonation of theelectro-proton bomb,Mace Windu searched for survivors who had fell in asinkhole created by the blast. After finding them, Windu got a bad feeling and contacted Skywalker to come down there. Skywalker flew his interceptor into the crater, only to be attacked by the reawakenedZillo Beast. The beast slashed the fighter's port-side wing with its tail, forcing Skywalker to crash-land into the side of the sinkhole. Skywalker and R2-D2 managed to escape before the Zillo Beast crushed his starfighter with its giant foot.^[4]

Sabotage of theEndurance[]

Skywalker used his Delta-7B to flee theEndurance as it began to fall intoVanqor's atmosphere as a result ofBoba Fett'ssabotage.Clone CadetSergeantCrasher contacted him and Windu, who was flyinghis own Delta-7B, that one of the escape pods containing cadets had gone missing. Unbeknownst to them, it was the pod that Fett was using to make his escape. Skywalker and Windu managed to find the pod and recover the missing cadets.^[11]

Mission to Vanqor[]

Shortly after theEndurance crash-landed on Vanqor, Skywalker and Windu flew their Delta-7Bs to search for survivors on the planet's surface. While there, they told R2-D2 andR8-B7 to search for survivors while they would head up to thebridge to findAdmiral Kilian andCommander Ponds, who were onboard when the ship crashed. However, when they got there, a bomb planted in aMandalorianhelmet exploded, collapsing the bridge on top of Skywalker and Windu. Skywalker got R2 to go back to the starfighters and call theJedi Temple for help. On the way to the starfighter, R2 was ambushed by agundark. However, using quick thinking, he was able to attach it, via cable, to Skywalker's fighter and activated the ship's engines, crashing it some miles away and killing the gundark in the process. R2 would use Windu's starfighter to flee Vanqor and get help.^[5]

Battle of Kamino[]

When General Grievous's fleet arrived atKamino, Skywalker used his Delta-7B to lead fighter squadrons against the fleet, along withBroadside. As Grievous began sacrificing the larger transports to protect his command ship, debris from the ships fell into orbit and landed in Kamino's oceans. Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was inTipoca City, suspected that the droids were up to something and investigated the fallen debris, only to findaqua droids using it to assembleassault craft for an underwater assault on the city. Kenobi quickly called Skywalker back to the planet's surface.^[12]

Battle of Sullust[]

Skywalker flew his starfighter alongside his master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who flewhis own Delta-7B, in theBattle of Sullust. While Kenobi was pursued byAssaj Ventress, who had entered the battle in herGinivex-class fanblade starfighter, Skywalker was pursued by two groups ofdroid tri-fighters, which had split up to take him down. Skywalker lured both groups towards aRecusant-class light destroyer and tricked them into colliding with each other, destroying both groups simultaneously. He then pursued Ventress, who had damaged Kenobi's starfighter, and shot down her fighter. Kenobi crash-landed in the hangar of the Separatistcommand ship and Skywalker followed him inside. After duelling Ventress, the two escaped the flagship, which had been ordered to be destroyed byCount Dooku.^[13]

Later use[]

Skywalker and Tano flew their Delta-7Bs toPlop Dribble's at thespaceport onStobar. They had intended to rendezvous with theircruiser, but Skywalker was hungry and had grown tired of government rations. Nevertheless, they witnessed the aftermath of events afterSavage Opress assaulted one of the waitresses working at the diner.^[14]

During theOnderonian Civil War, Skywalker flew his Delta-7B toFlorrum to convinceHondo Ohnaka to deliver severalrocket launchers to therebels, allowing them to destroy the newHMP droid gunships.^[15]

By the time of theBattle of Cato Neimoidia, Skywalker had ceased to use his Delta-7B and switched to anEta-2Actis-class light interceptor.^[16]
