LEGO 7259 ARC-170 Fighter was a 396 piece Star Wars set with 4 minifigs released in 2005. It features a Starfighter with wings that open into attack position, dropping "bombs," three Clone pilots, and an R4-D5 unit and is based on the film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. The Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter, was a heavy-duty starfighter used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars and was considered the latest in fighter technology. Jointly manufactured by Incom Corporation and Subpro, it continued to see usage into the reign of the Galactic Empire, but was eventually phased out by the newer TIE fighter series, though some found their way into the hands of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter was a multipurpose starship measuring 12.71 meters in length with a wingspan of 20 meters, designed for both intense battle and longer deep-space missions. It was equipped with a hyperdrive and propelled itself in realspace utilizing two powerful IGP-440a ion turbine engines mounted in each of its two wings powered by a system of rear-mounted power generators. These engines were equipped with retro-thrusters which, combined with a forward repulsorlift added to the ship's already impressive maneuverability and gave it a top speed of 1,050 kph. To further aid in accelerating inside planetary atmospheres, the ARC-170's deflector shields dispersed the heat generated by air resistance and enabled it to reach hypersonic speeds. Crew The ARC-170 was piloted by a crew of three—a pilot, co-pilot, and tail gunner, along with an astromech droid which doubled as a navigator. The co-pilot was also manning the forward weapons, although control could be turned over to the pilot. The ship was equipped with consumables for five days, allowing the crew to undertake lonely independent missions deep into hostile territory and extending the Republic's reach beyond carrier ships and fleets. Please note: The Astromech body is a substitute from R2D2. The crew is free of cracks or loose limbs. 👌 This set has printed pieces- no pealed stickers!
