Phantom The Phantom was a modified VCX - series auxiliary starfighter that could dock with its mothership , the " Ghost " . The " Phantom " was widely used by the crew of the " Ghost " , who were also known as the Spectres . The " Phantom " was used by these rebels on numerous missions against the Galactic Empire . Description . The " Phantom " was a modified VCX - series auxiliary starfighter that was attached to the VCX - 100 light freighter known as the " Ghost " . Both vessels were manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation . The auxiliary ship was armed with a Taim & Bak MS - 2B twin laser cannon and a Taim & Bak KX4 dorsal laser turret The " Phantom " had a former starfighter cockpit that had been sourced during an earlier raid . It was also equipped with four swinging seats which could be folded to make way for goods . The " Phantom " also had a hatch which led down to the " Ghost " ship ladder . The " Phantom " was capable of doubling as both a starfighter and shuttle ; something that was maximized by its crew . On at least two occasions , the " Phantom " sustained damage but was repaired to full operational capacity . The " Phantom " was also equipped with a jammer that allowed it to conceal its presence . The rebel Sabine Wren painted a Sando aqua monster on the " Phantom " s hull . The " Phantom " was upgraded to include a hyperdrive by a Mon Calamari shipbuilder named Quarrie . However the hyperdrive required an Astromech in order to function . In addition , the " Phantom " autopilot was also programmed to fly back to the mothership . This was a mechanism designed to counter thefts . Because of the " Phantom " secondary role as a shuttle , it was larger , heavier , and less agile than dedicated starfighters like the TIE / ln space superiority starfighter used by the Galactic Empire . This was compensated for by its durability , shielding , aft armament , versatility , and sophisticated avionics systems . In addition to its duties as a fighter and shuttle , the laser cannons allowed it to be used as an aft - facing gun turret for the " Ghost " when docked in reverse . History . The Spectres . As part of " Ghost " s auxiliary vessel , the " Phantom " was owned by the Twi ' lek pilot Hera Syndulla . Her crew included the former Jedi Padawan Kanan Jarrus , the astromech droid Chopper , the former Lasat Honor Guardsman Garazeb Orrelios , and the teenaged Mandalorian weapons expert and artist Sabine Wren . During a raid on an Imperial convoy , Chopper manned the " Phantom " laser cannon s when the mother ship was attacked by several TIE fighters . During a heist on Imperial supplies on the Outer Rim planet Lothal , the rebels encountered a Force - sensitive human boy named Ezra Bridger , who took a ride aboard the " Ghost " . After escaping his improvised holding cell , Ezra manned one of the " Phantom " laser turrets before being relieved by Sabine . Still attached to its mother ship , the " Phantom " took part on a mission to rescue Wookiee slaves being shipped to the spice mines of Kessel . Following these adventures , Ezra decided to become Kanan ' s apprentice and join the crew of the " Ghost " . Further Adventures . Later , the crew of the " Ghost " learned that the Jedi Master Luminara Unduli was imprisoned at the Spire , a high - security prison on the planet Stygeon Prime . While Chopper waited aboard the " Ghost " , the other rebels flew down to the Spire aboard the " Phantom " . Hera piloted the auxiliary shuttle and deployed Kanan , Ezra , Sabine , and Zeb onto a landing platform . While the other rebels entered the prison , Hera attached the " Phantom " to the side of the prison . To avoid detection , she powered down the auxiliary vessel and activated a jammer . Hera ' s companions quickly discovered that Luminara was dead and were trapped by the Grand Inquisitor and several stormtrooper s . Meanwhile , the " Phantom " sensors detected something approaching the shuttle . Hera initially thought it was a TIE fighter but quickly discovered that it was a large swarm of tibidee s , which had mistaken the shuttle ' s jamming system for a mating call . Hera quickly detached the shuttle from the prison but was pursued by the tibidees . Later , Hera managed to win over the tibidees and use them to harass the Imperials while she rescued the other Spectres . They then flew back to the " Ghost " and fled into space . The " Phantom " and its mother ship later took part in a mission to intercept an Imperial convoy transporting a large kyber crystal . Kanan flew the " Phantom " while Hera piloted the " Ghost " . The two rebels had learnt about the convoy from Ezra , who had infiltrated Lothal ' s Academy for Young Imperials , and a cadet named Zare Leonis , who was sympathetic to the rebels . While the " Phantom " distracted the convoy ' s TIE fighter escorts , the " Ghost " destroyed the " Gozanti " - class cruiser carrying the kyber crystal . This triggered a vast explosion which destroyed the Imperial convoy . The " Phantom " narrowly managed to escape the explosion by linking up with the " Ghost " , which then jumped into hyperspace . After a supply raid on Lothal , the " Phantom " was pursued by several TIE fighters and had its fuel line damaged by a laser strike while navigating through a canyon . After the mission , the " Phantom " and the Ghost docked with each other , Ezra , Chopper , and Zeb ran a diagnostic scan but failed to check it due to their bickering . During a supply run to Fort Anaxes , an old Republic base on the asteroid PM - 1203 that had been abandoned some time after the Clone Wars , the ruptured fuel line was discovered . Hera and Sabine were stranded on the asteroid and surrounded by several hostile fyrnock s . Their mission proved successful despite some close calls with the beasts , in part thanks to explosive rhydonium canisters . Kanan , Ezra , Chopper and Zeb arrived in short order to rescue the two and the " Phantom " was recovered as well . Rising Challenges . After sabotaging the Empire Day celebrations in Lothal ' s Capital City , the rebels fled into space on the " Ghost " . They were accompanied by the Rodian fugitive Tseebo , an Imperial Information Office employee who wore a cybernetic implant containing Imperial secrets . During a brief dog fight , Chopper manned the " Phantom " laser cannons but was knocked out by a laser blast . Before the Imperials could inflict further damage , Tseebo transmitted coordinates into the " Ghost " hyperdrive which allowed the rebels to escape into hyperspace . However , the Grand Inquisitor succeeded in planting an XX - 23 S - thread tracker onto the auxiliary vessel ' s hull . While traveling through hyperspace , Chopper detected the homing beacon on the " Phantom " hull . To prevent the Empire from capturing Tseebo , Kanan and Ezra decided to use the " Phantom " as a decoy vessel to lure the Inquisitor away from the " Ghost " . The " Phantom " exited hyperspace above the asteroid PM - 1203 and landed at Fort Anaxes . There , Ezra used the Force to command the fyrnocks to attack the Grand Inquisitor and his stormtroopers . After escaping the Inquisitor , Kanan and an exhausted Ezra escaped aboard the " Phantom " and linked up with the " Ghost " . Since Ezra had tapped into the Dark Side during his confrontation with the Inquisitor , Kanan decided that his Padawan should embark on his Jedi trials to ascertain whether he had the discipline to be a Jedi . While meditating with his Jedi holocron , Kanan discovered that there was a Jedi Temple on Lothal . He used the " Phantom " to take his apprentice there . After Ezra sensed the temple ' s presence , Kanan landed the shuttle near the temple . After Ezra passed his Jedi trials , he and Kanan returned to the " Ghost " with the " Phantom " . The " Phantom " also saw action during a mission by the crew of the " Ghost " to seize control of the Imperial Communications Center in Jalath and use it to broadcast Rebel counter - propaganda . Hera remained aboard the " Phantom " to provide a get - away transport while the other rebels seized control of the facility . However , this was a trap set by Grand Moff Tarkin , the Grand Inquisitor , and Agent Kallus . Imperial forces quickly converged on the communications tower . While Kanan held back the Imperials , the other rebels managed to escape aboard the " Phantom " . Despite Hera ' s protests , she complied with Kanan ' s orders to leave him and escape . Despite Kanan ' s capture , Ezra succeeded in broadcasting a message before Grand Moff Tarkin destroyed the communications tower . Following Kanan ' s capture , Hera received orders from the mysterious rebel leader known as Fulcrum to sacrifice Kanan in order to avoid exposing the rebellion . However , Ezra , Sabine , Zeb , and Chopper defied Hera ' s orders and used the " Phantom " to visit the Devaronian crime lord Cikatro Vizago . With Vizago ' s help , the rebels learnt that Kanan was imprisoned aboard Tarkin ' s flagship " Sovereign " , which was departing for the Mustafar system . A Wider Rebellion . Following Kanan ' s rescue , the crew of the " Ghost " learned that they were part of a larger rebellion . Fulcrum was an alias for the Jedi Purge survivor Ahsoka Tano , who was a key rebel leader . The rebels also joined the Phoenix Cell , which operated a fleet of starships . The " Phantom " and its mother ship narrowly survived an attack on the Phoenix fleet by Darth Vader . Following their escape , the " Phantom " was used by the rebels on a mission to the desert planet Seelos . Ahsoka had sent the rebels to contact an old friend from the Clone Wars , the Clone Captain Rex . The rebels needed new bases and Ahsoka believed that Rex knew the location of several Clone Wars - era facilities . While Hera and Chopper waited above in the " Ghost " , Kanan and the other rebels descended to Seelos on the " Phantom " . After establishing contact with Rex and two other former Clone commanders , the " Phantom " was attacked and damaged by an Imperial probe droid . The rebels and clones managed to destroy the probe droid and repair the shuttle . Shortly later , an Imperial Star Destroyer led by Admiral Kassius Konstantine and Agent Kallus arrived over Seelos . During the ensuing battle , the rebels departed on the " Phantom " while Rex and his comrades held back Kallus ' AT - AT walkers with their antiquated AT - TE walker . At Ezra ' s urging , Kanan decided to help the clone veterans and used the " Phantom " to destroy one of the AT - AT walkers . After defeating the Imperials , the clone commanders agreed to join the Rebellion . Later , Sabine , Zeb , Chopper and Ezra traveled on the " Phantom " during a mission to retrieve medical supplies from an abandoned Old Republic medical base in space . After docking the shuttle in a hangar bay , the four rebels ventured into the space station only to be ambushed by two Inquisitors known as the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother . The Inquisitors managed to overpower and capture Chopper , Ezra , and Sabine but Zeb managed to escape and free Chopper . Using the " Phantom " intercom , he posed as " Commander Meiloorun " and tricked the Inquisitors into entering the hangar bay . Following another struggle , he managed to free the other two rebels and they escaped into space to rejoin the fleet . Following their encounter with the two Inquisitors , Ezra and Chopper used the " Phantom " to come to the aid of the Devaronian crime lord Cikatro Vizago , whose ship the " Broken Horn " had been taken over by the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka . After docking the " Phantom " in the " Broken Horn " hangar bay , the two rebels encountered Ohnaka , who claimed that he had won the " Broken Horn " by beating Vizago in a sabacc game . Together , the three companions attempted to sell several power generators to the Jablogian crime lord Azmorigan . After escaping Azmorigan , Ezra and Chopper discovered a captive Vizago and freed him . During the ensuing fight between Vizago and Ohnaka , Ohnaka fled to the planet Garel on the " Phantom " . However , the " Phantom " autopilot had been programmed to fly back to its mother ship . The " Phantom " along with Ohnaka and the power generators were subsequently recovered by the other crew of the " Ghost " . Ohnaka was allowed to keep his proceeds but agreed to hand over the power generators to the rebels , who used them to aid the people of Rinn , which was experiencing an energy crisis . The Hyperdrive upgrade and beyond . The " Phantom " was later used by Hera , Sabine , and Zeb to investigate the possibility of using an experimental new starfighter being developed on the planet Shantipole to break a blockade preventing relief supplies being delivered to severely overworked laborers on the planet Ibaar . Because of atmospheric hazards , the " Phantom " was disabled and crash - landed on the landing pad of Quarrie ' s secret research and development station . Quarrie offered several parts to restore the " Phantom " to flight - worthiness , and also surreptitiously installed an aftermarket hyperdrive engine . The " Phantom " then delivered the prototype Blade Wing fighter to the rebel blockade run to Ibaar using this hyperdrive . Since test - firing an experimental heavy weapon on the " Blade Wing " had disabled its own integrated hyperdrive , the Blade Wing had to be ferried through hyperspace by the " Phantom " ; which was now equipped with Quarrie ' s only other available hyperdrive engine . Thanks to the " Phantom " timely delivery , the " Blade wing " turned the blockade run into a blockade bust . Later , the " Phantom " was used by Kanan , Ezra , Chopper , and Zeb to travel to Hammertown , a settlement on the planet Takobo . Their Jedi ally Ahsoka Tano had sent the four rebels on a mission to investigate a set of coordinates belonging to the Inquisitors . Upon arriving , the rebels learnt that the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister were kidnapping Force - sensitive babies . The rebels managed to recover two younglings , Alora and Pypey . After fighting off the Inquisitors with the help of Ahsoka , the rebels fled to Garel , which had become home to a significant rebel presence . Following the Battle on Garel , Kanan , Ezra , and Chopper used the " Phantom " to travel to Lothal . Ezra had earlier received a Force vision of his parents Ephraim and Mira Bridger and decided to find them . After finding a gap in the Imperial fleet , the " Phantom " traveled to Lothal . After landing at Capital City , Chopper stayed aboard the " Phantom " while Ezra searched for the loth - cat he had encountered in his vision . When the loth - cat escaped on a speeder bike into the wilderness , the three rebels used the " Phantom " to track to speeder bike to a remote camp . There , the three rebels encountered Ryder Azadi , the former Governor of Lothal who had known Ezra ' s parents . Azadi revealed that Ezra ' s parents had died during an escape attempt which had been inspired by Ezra ' s recent broadcast from the Imperial Communications Center . When Imperial forces stumbled on Azadi ' s hideout , a brief skirmish broke out when the other crew of the " Ghost " arrived . During the skirmish , Chopper secured the " Phantom " by entering the ship ' s astromech socket and piloting it into the " Ghost " . Later , the " Phantom " was used during a successful operation by the crew of the " Ghost " to steal three " Sphyrna " - class corvettes from an Imperial depot in Jalath . The Alderaan ian Senator Bail Organa had sent three Hammerhead corvettes to augment the Phoenix rebels ' depleted forces . Since the Alderaanians could not afford to be seen directly supporting the rebels , Bail instead arranged for his adopted daughter Prince ss Leia Organa to deliver the ships to Lothal , where they would be " stolen " by the crew of the " Ghost " . However , the Imperial Supply Master Yogar Lyste had fastened gravity lock s to the ships in order to deter thefts . With the connivance of Leia and Ryder Azadi , the rebels put their plans into action . Donning Imperial uniforms , Kanan and Ezra accompanied Leia back to the Imperial depot in the " Phantom " . Upon landing , Kanan claimed that they were Imperial personnel who had rescued Leia from the rebels . While Lyste and his stormtroopers were distracted , the other rebels disabled the gravity locks and stole the Hammerhead corvettes . After completing their mission , Chopper and Ezra escaped Lothal aboard the " Phantom " and returned with the " Ghost " to the rebel fleet , which was waiting on the outskirts of the Lothal system . Ferrying the rebels . The " Phantom " was also used by Kanan , Chopper , and Sabine during a sabotage mission to the third moon of Concord Dawn . Earlier , the rebels had attempted to negotiate safe passage through the Concord Dawn system with the Journeyman Protector s , a Mandalorian faction that had colonized Concord Dawn . However , the Protectors ' leader Fenn Rau had allied his people with the Imperials and attacked the rebel diplomatic mission , seriously wounding Hera . In retaliation , the rebels decided to destroy the Protectors ' Fang fighter s , which were housed at a base on the third moon of Concord Dawn . During the mission , Chopper flew the " Phantom " into the moon ' s atmosphere and landed Kanan and Sabine near the encampment . He then flew the shuttle away from the base to avoid drawing the attention of the Mandalorians . After Sabine had succeeded in destroying seven of the Fang fighters , she contacted Chopper to pick them up with the " Ghost " . Chopper picked up Sabine before rendezvousing the " Phantom " with Kanan in the upper atmosphere . Kanan had hijacked Rau ' s starfighter and managed to knock him out . The Jedi then leaped into the " Phantom " rear hatchway with Rau in tow . Having completed their mission and take Rau prisoner , the " Phantom " then returned to the rebel fleet . Following his capture , Rau allowed the rebels to travel through the Concord Dawn system in exchange for keeping his capture a secret from the Empire . During the crew of the " Ghost " journey to Lira San , the " Phantom " remained in its mother ship ' s rear section for much of the expedition . After the rebels rediscovered Lira San , Zeb and the two Lasat refugees Gron and Chava used the " Phantom " to travel to Lira San ' s surface . There , they discovered that Lira San was the original Lasat homeworld and that it was already home to millions of Lasat . While Gron and Chava chose to remain on Lira San , Zeb returned on the " Phantom " to rejoin his rebel companions aboard the " Ghost " . With its mother ship the " Ghost " low on fuel and power , the crew of the " Ghost " took part in a heist at a Mining Guild Asteroid Belt Gas Refinery to obtain fuel for their ship and the fleet . Since the " Ghost " was low on power , Captain Hera was forced to divert power from the " Phantom " to power the rest of the ship . As a result , the " Phantom " remained aboard the " Ghost " during the raid . The rebels managed to acquire the fuel canisters and destroy the gas refinery with the help of the Purrgil s , large space - dwelling creatures capable of hyperspace travel . Later , the " Phantom " was used by Kanan and Ezra to search for Zeb following an ambush on an Imperial construction module above the planet Geonosis . Despite their efforts , they were unable to locate Zeb , who had landed with Agent Kallus in an escape pod on the icy moon of Bahryn . There , Zeb and Kallus overcame their animosity and struck an unlikely friendship to survive the cold and to ward off several bonzami beasts . After fixing his transponder , the rebels were able to trace his signal to Bahryn where they picked him up . Chopper , Kanan , and Ezra later traveled on the " Phantom " to scout the planet Oosalon as a prospective location for a new rebel base . While Kanan and Ezra explored the planet , Chopper stayed in the air with the " Phantom " . After Kanan and Ezra encountered trouble with the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister , Chopper rendezvoused with the Jedis ' Tibidee and picked them up . To avoid drawing the Inquisitors to the fleet , Kanan instructed Hera to rendezvous with them in deep space . While the " Phantom " docked with the " Ghost " rear , Kanan briefed the other crew and Ahsoka Tano about their problems on Oosalon . Later , Chopper used the " Phantom " to ferry Kanan , Ezra , and Ahsoka to the Jedi Temple on Lothal . While the three Jedi entered the Temple , Chopper stayed with the " Phantom " . When night fell , Chopper picked up some approaching starships on his satellite and departed on the " Phantom " . Shortly later , the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister arrived on their TIE Advanced v1 starfighter s . After the Jedi had finished communing with Yoda and the Force in the Temple , they returned to the " Phantom " and fled into space before more Imperial reinforcements could arrive . Following the discovery of the planet Atollon , the Phoenix rebels established a base called Chopper Base on the planet . After the disappearance of Lieutenant Dicer , Rex and Sabine took the " Phantom " to the base ' s northern perimeter to investigate . Shortly later , they were attacked by several large spidery creatures known as krykna . One of the krykna managed to swarm the " Phantom " . Sabine managed to fight the krykna but Rex was taken captive . After reinforcements arrived in the form of the " Ghost " , Chopper secured the " Phantom " and parked it back in the rear compartment of the " Ghost " . Following a skirmish , the " Phantom " and its mother ship escaped back to Chopper Base . The " Phantom " was used by Kanan , Ezra and Ahsoka during their mission to Malachor to seek knowledge on how to defeat the Sith . During the expedition , Chopper served as the ship ' s pilot from his astromech socket . After landing the Jedi and Tano , Chopper used the " Phantom " to track down a second starship under Kanan ' s orders . This starship turned out to be a TIE Advanced v1 fighter which belonged to the Eighth Brother , another Inquisitor who had attacked the Jedi and Tano . Prior to the Malachor Sith temple ' s destruction , Chopper used the " Phantom " to evacuate Ezra and Kanan . However , the Jedi were unable to bring Ahsoka with them , who was trapped with her former Jedi mentor Darth Vader inside the doomed temple . The " Phantom " safely landed at Chopper Base where her passengers were greeted by the Spectres and Rex . Last mission . After rescuing Hondo Ohnaka from the Imperial prison on Naraka , Ezra , Sabine , Zeb , Chopper , Rex , and Hondo traveled on the " Phantom " to the Imperial junkyard Reklam Station , which lay inside the gas planet of Yarma . On the way , Sabine and Chopper exited hyperspace at Sereeda Waypoint . There , they were intercepted by a Mining Guild patrol which ordered them to halt and explain their breach into Mining Guild space . After Chopper and Sabine shot down two Mining Guild TIE fighter s , the " Phantom " jumped into hyperspace and reached Yarma . With Hondo serving as a guide , the rebels flew inside Yarma ' s gassy atmosphere and found Reklam Station . On the way they were attacked by two DTS - series Dismantler Droid s but Chopper and Rex repelled them . During the dogfight , the " Phantom " was damaged but Sabine managed to regain control . She docked the ship underneath a floating platform at Reklam Station . The rebels then infiltrated the station and managed to steal the Y - Wing light bombers with the help of the Ugnaught laborers . The " Phantom " was destroyed after Ezra shut down power to the station , causing Reklam Station to crash into Yarma ' s surface . Ezra attempted to escape on the " Phantom " but the platform it was hanging on fell into the volatile surface below and exploded . Ezra was later rescued by Hera and Kanan . Hera reprimanded Ezra for his recklessness and for the loss of the " Phantom " . Due to his actions , Ezra was suspended from his position as Lieutenant Commander . During a mission to Agamar , Ezra , Chopper , Rex , Kanan and Zeb escaped from the Empire on a " Sheathipede " - class transport shuttle which became the new " Phantom " , named the " Phantom II " , replacing the one lost at Reklam Station . Behind the scenes . The " Ghost " attack shuttle was first identified as the " Wolf " in concept art that appeared in a video released on October 12 , 2013 . The video featured concept art from the upcoming animated series " Star Wars Rebels " . However , the ship was revealed as the " Phantom " at the January 2014 , which announced a LEGO set featuring the shuttle . The set includes a detachable cockpit , a cargo hold for storing Ezra Bridger ' s Imperial cadet helmet and blaster , a spring - loaded missile , and encourages players to fly the " Phantom " into battle against the Galactic Empire ' s TIE fighters .
