The squadron was forced to retreat, with only two V-19's left out of the 15 that took part in the engagement. However, they were caught in a trap and overwhelmed, resulting Tano's second-in-command Axe being killed by a vulture droid. Not long after that, V-19 fighters also saw action during the Battle of Ryloth, where Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano led a squadron against the Separatist blockade led by Mar Tuuk. ĭuring the Battle of Quell, several V-19 fighters were deployed to defend Aayla Secura's crippled fleet from vulture droids while she was waiting for reinforcements led by Anakin Skywalker. Anakin then ordered his squadron to break off the attack as he had AT-TE walkers under the command of Rex to destroy the Separatist fleet, giving victory to the Republic, though Grievous escaped the ensuing chaos. However, the fighters were seemingly outmatched by the firepower of the Munificent-class star frigates of Grievous, resulting one of them being shot down. įollowing a recent string of defeats to Grievous in the Outer Rim Campaign, Gold Squadron, led by Anakin Skywalker, used V-19 starfighters to lure the cyborg general to a trap in Bothawui. They also comprised a proportion of Skywalker's fighter forces aboard his flagship, the Resolute during the Malevolence crisis. Skywalker then requested Yularen in his Star Destroyer to have them land so they can deliver Rotta to safety, but vulture droids overtook them in a suicide run, crashing into the hangar and destroying all V-19s in there, making it impossible for him to land. When Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano stole a freighter after rescuing Rotta from Separatist captivity, they found themselves in the firefight between the V-19s and the vulture droids. Kenobi then joined the battle on the ground while Odd Ball and the rest of the squadron continued to engage the droid fighters. During the battle, Odd Ball was tailed by two vulture droids, but Kenobi was able to shoot them down to save his wingman. With his wingman CC-2237 "Odd Ball," they led the squadron against the vulture droids orbiting the castle. V-19 fighters were then deployed during the Battle of Teth, where Kenobi arrived with reinforcements to help Skywalker. More V-19s were also present engaging vulture droids when more Confederate Navy ships arrived, making Admiral Wullf Yularen unable to deliver reinforcements. V-19 fighters were also present during the Battle of Christophsis where they engaged droid fighters over the planet as Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi used their starfighters to break through the Separatist blockade so they can land on the planet. In the early stages of the war, Anakin Skywalker led a squadron of V-19 and Y-wing bombers against the Separatist vulture droids in the Corvair sector. V-19 Torrents were developed to compensate the LAAT Gunships effectiveness against droid fighters. Two V-19s patrol the skies of Coruscant with a Jedi Knight Delta-7s Aethersprite. The V-19 served as a predecessor to the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter, in terms of its usage and purpose. In addition, the V-19 did not come equipped with shield generators, but it was made up for in the starfighter's thick armor, sturdy hull, and its speed and agility. It had a pair of wingtip-mounted laser cannons, which provided long-range anti-fighter capabilities, and two hull-mounted concussion missile launchers, all of which gave the fighter enough power for light anti-ship and standoff work. In its role of a space superiority starfighter, the V-19 possessed an armament of mixed energy weapons and ordnance launchers. Furthermore, a third engine was housed in a third, aft-mounted and vertical stabilizer, which, paired with a powerful repulsorlift system, made the V-19 very fast and nimble. The starfighter also possessed two powerful ion engines that were mounted in nacelles located port and starboard that also contained the connections and control mechanisms for the fighter's primary S-foils. The large domed canopy of the cockpit provided pilots with a greater view of their surroundings, and an advanced QY77.b avionics suite gave all necessary combat information.
It possessed a flat, broad and roughly square-shaped fuselage with a cockpit mounted far aft on the starfighter's dorsal hull.
