That truly sets them apart, not the least of which is their primary pilots. Let’s be honest – it’s the ships’ respective intangibles Allowing operation of the cannons from the gunnery stations or the cockpit gave Dash a lot more defensive flexibility.Įdge: Outrider, but just barely. Personal modifications to the weapons system (dorsal and ventral-mounted heavy cannons and added concussion missiles) added quite the punch to the ship’s defenses.
Dash Rendar fitted the Outrider with reinforced titanium armor, giving the ship a “dark, chrome gleam.” Add in improved sensors and a countermeasure/stealth package, and the Outrider was one of the most elusive smuggling ships to fly. This is where both ships’ modifications shined. The Outrider also featured an upgraded hyperdrive, but it still couldn’t match the Falcon.Įdge: Millennium Falcon Armament, Hull and Shielding Dash Rendar fitted the ship with military-grade ion engines, but they only gave it a top speed of 800 km/hr in atmosphere.
(Since the Outrider IS canon, we are considering the Legends specifications to have been incorporated into the canon ship.) While it was fast, it frankly wasn’t as fast as the Millennium Falcon. Also of Corellian design, the Outrider was a newer, YT-2400 model.
