The WTK-85A interstellar transport was a model of transport manufactured by Sublights Products Corporation. Designed for scouts or pilots who worked with minimal crew requirements, the WTK-85A only needed one pilot, though had space for a co-pilot.
Characteristics
Designed for scouts and lone pilots, the ship only needed one pilot, but was demanded by safety requirements to have copilot station with a redundant controls. The massive engines that flanked the ship were a combination of sublight and hyperspace drives. The ship had a modern navicomputer which was useful for loners, and speeds that could approach a starfighter in atmosphere.[3]
History
The transport was originally designed during the last days of the Galactic Republic.[3]
A WTK-85A was part of Zorby's Western Shiplot, a starship lot on the planet Ferrix.[4]
A WTK-85A was parked outside the gates of Jabba's palace when the slicer Kay Vess and the bounty hunter Vail Tormin were escaping.[2]
The Sith assassin Ochi owned a modified WTK-85A interstellar transport, the Bestoon Legacy. The craft was briefly stolen by Rey's parents, Miramir and Dathan, to return Rey to the planet Jakku, only for Ochi to kill them and reclaim his ship. Traveling to the planet Pasaana on a false lead on Rey's location,[5] Ochi died after sinking in the Shifting Mires, leaving his ship behind.[1] Eventually during a Mission to Pasaana, Resistance pilot Poe Dameron piloted the ship to save Chewbacca.[1]
