Imperial flight simulators atSkystrike Academy
Aflight simulator was a device used to train and teststarfighterpilots. TheAlliance to Restore the Republic used a simulator which resembled the interior of anX-wingcockpit removed from its frame and connected to a large monitor. The highest score on this simulator was held bypilotWedge Antilles, although his record was trumped by new recruitLuke Skywalker shortly before theBattle of Yavin. The simulator was designed to present Rebel pilots with a no-win scenario. It immediate plunged the pilot into aspace battle with simulatedImperialforces, steadily increasing the number until the battle became overwhelming and even the most skilled pilot could no longer survive under the onslaught.[1]
During theAge of the Empire, theJelucan aristocratThane Kyrell'sfamily owned an old flight simulator. He invited his new-found friendCiena Ree to practice with him. The two later joined theImperial Navy.[2] In themonths before theattack on Tuanul,Rey, ascavenger on thedesertplanetJakku, practiced flying using anA-wing simulator.[3]
