YE-4 Gunship

Seinar Systems Ye-4
Although this ship might look similar the Lambda-class shuttle at first glance, don't let appearances deceive you. The Galactic Empire uses the Imperial gunship in situations that call for aggressive firepower.

Two forward mounted guns, three forward mounted turrets, in addition to the two turrets on the top and one at the rear of the gunship, pack quite the punch. This combat-ready vessel can seek out and destroy any unsuspecting Rebels in its path.

Star Wars Lore
Ye-4 gunships were heavily armed gunships employed by the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War.

Characteristics
Two vertical wings protruded from the top and bottom of the ship's rear. It was armed with seven turret weapons that could effortlessly destroy enemy starfighters. Two of its weapons were forward-firing, four were able to fire in a 180 degree arc above the ship, while the last was mounted in the back and could attack pursuing craft. This left the ship's bottom uncovered and made it its weak spot.

The ship's design seemed to be based on Sienar Fleet Systems' Sentinel-class landing craft.

Behind the scenes
Ye-4 gunships, also called gunboats, are mid-sized ships in Star Wars Galaxies. They are mainly found in deep space and the Kessel system, but occasionally appear in other star systems, too. The Ye-4 is one of the most dangerous NPC enemies in the space part of the game.

Aquisition
The single use schematic for this ship is a quest drop, however nobody has come forward with information leading as to which quest, or how/where it starts. After Chapter 8 goes live, more details will be added here as this ship is in fact still in testing stages.
