The Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor, also known as the Jedi Interceptor, is a nimble starfighter used by the Jedi Order during the late stages of The Clone Wars. This class of ships is designed for agility and speed, possessing hyperdrive capability only when docked with a Hyperdrive Ring. It sports a sleek and compact design, with s-foils that can open for improved combat maneuverability. The ship's armament includes dual laser cannons and twin ion cannons, making it effective in dogfights against droid starfighters and other enemy vessels.
Primarily piloted by Jedi, the Eta-2 relies on The Force-sensitive skills of its operators for optimal performance, although it also includes an astromech droid socket for navigational and repair assistance. The Starfighter's minimalistic shielding and armor make it vulnerable in prolonged battles, but its agility and advanced weaponry compensate for these weaknesses. The Eta-2 played significant roles in key battles, including the Battle of Coruscant, where notable ships piloted by Jedi like Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi showcased its exceptional capabilities.
