It’s under the command of Captain Modan Canady, a former Imperial commander of a Star Destroyer. Brought to bear against the remnants of the Resistance fleet, the Dreadnought is also equipped with the orbital bombardment canon that poses a serious threat to the Resistance base on D’Qar. One of the First Order’s greatest weapons is the Siege Dreadnought Fulminatrix.
The Silencer is also more heavily armored and shielded than other TIE Fighters, protecting its unique (and fussy) occupant. Like other TIE fighters, it features highly efficient layers of solar panels on its wings. The prototype TIE Silencer includes a wide variety of weapons, including heavy laser cannons, torpedoes, and retractable ordnance bays stashed in between the bifurcated wings. Like Darth Vader before him, Kylo Ren sets himself apart from the TIE Fighter hoi polloi with a custom starship. It’s particularly suitable for the Resistance because it’s designed to be flown with a skeleton crew, but the evacuation of D’Qar actually forces the crew to run the ship with more people than expected. Under the command of her old ally Admiral Ackbar, the Raddus is equipped with turbolaser batteries, powerful shields, and room for starfighters. The flagship for the Resistance is the Raddus, General Leia Organa’s base of operations after the evacuation of D’Qar. During the evacuation of D’Qar, the Resistance’s StarFortresses were organized into two squadrons, Cobalt and Crimson. Each bomber usually carries five people: a pilot, a bombardier, two specialist gunners, and one flight engineer. Along with the payload of bombs, each ship has fore and aft cannons. Manufactured during the final defeat of the Empire and during the time of peace afterward, they carry 1,048 proton bombs each. These vertically-oriented ships are designed like B-Wing fighters but on a much larger scale.
Paige Tico’s sacrifice in a MG-100 StarFortress bomber paves the way for her sister Rose to play a big role in The Last Jedi. While the Ninka’s ability as a “Bunkerbuster” is useful for bringing a barrage down on enemy ships, its legacy in The Last Jedi is more as Holdo’s origin story than anything else. It’s a well-armed cruiser that packs space for starfighter hangars and plasma bombs into its spindly frame. While watching The Last Jedi, you may notice that Vice Admiral Holdo was originally in command of the Ninka, the H-shaped Free Virgillia-class Bunkerbustership in the Resistance fleet.
