Article Theme/Topic:  Jedi Vectors

 
General Information Body Paragraph:

Jedi Vectors were a particular type of starfighter that the Jedi Order used in the High Republic Era. With an emphasis on performance and maneuverability, the Vector was a sleek and streamlined spacecraft that was intended to be a tangible manifestation of the Jedi's connection to the Force. It was a fast-moving, extremely accurate craft that required the pilot to focus intensely. With the addition of requiring a lightsaber as a key to operate its weaponry, the Vector solidified its position as the foremost vessel of the Jedi Order. This meant that fatal force could only be employed in circumstances that were carefully planned and barred non-force sensitive people from using the ships.

History/Background Body Paragraph:

Jedi Master Skeer and his Padawan Keeve Trennis traveled to Kirima in a Vector for her Jedi training at approximately 238 BBY. Loden Greatstorm and Bell Zettifar, the Master and Padawan pair, consistently flew the same two-seated Vector during their missions; on one such occasion, they flew the vessel through an ion storm that left scoring reminiscent of starbursts along its wings. After this episode, Zettifar began referring to the ship as the "Nova" in private, even though his master had heard his Padawan use the same name when playing with Ember, a charhound the youngster had become fond of on Elphrona.

Additional Information Body Paragraph:


The Vector may have looked spindly, but its weaponry was not to be taken lightly. The two laser cannons aboard the spaceship were locked in place with a small force field, and could only be fired by placing a lightsaber on an activation switch in the cockpit. Jedi only killed lives when there was no other option, hence this design feature served as a safety precaution as well as a means of guaranteeing that the weapons systems could only be activated after careful consideration. Pilots could select between stun or non-lethal blasts using a toggle on the Vector's control sticks, which served to reinforce this perception. The interior of the ship would glow the same hue as the lightsaber blade when the weaponry systems were activated. Furthermore, a Jedi might briefly assume control of an ally's weapons to fight in close-quarters combat by transferring control of that starship's armaments to a Vector.
