ARC-170 Starfighter

The Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter, also known as the ARC-170 starfighter and Advance Recon Fighter was a heavy starfighter/bomber that saw widespread use by the Republic in the later days of the Clone Wars. Shortly before the Battle of Coruscant, a squadron of ARCs provided cover for Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin on Tythe, but mostly destroyed by droid tri-fighters. During the Galactic Civil War, ARC-170s could be found in both Imperial and Rebel fleets, where they were considered Elite craft. As with all craft commissioned by the new Empire, ARC-170s were henceforth given the standard 'Imperial gray' color scheme, doing away with the variety of colorful markings that military vessels bore to identify their squadron affiliations with during the Clone Wars.
