Description This is the Cloakshape fighter , from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. I've depicted it by choosing the bits I liked best from the available references, but focusing mainly on the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels and the New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels . I also took into account the look of the ship on its first appearance, on the Dark Empire comics, and gave some preference to that version

The sketch is 6.5 cm wide, and was done with a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil with a grade 2B lead, plus a 0.7 mm mechanical pencil for some of the shadowing.

thought struck me - they'd make decent bombers if you have nothing else to work with. 
if nothing else, they'd look really good as such.

Hm, not sure how much payload they could carry, though…

no less than a Y-wing...

I don't think I agree with this

I'd say that, at most, perhaps almost as much as a Y-wing…

That's great! Used to use these to dogfight TIE Interceptors in X-wing Alliance (both kinds)

Oh wow, cool! I haven't flown them, but I thought they were way less maneuverable than that!

It WAS tricky. One reason I enjoyed it. If it's TIE Defenders vs Y-wings, well, where's the fun? T/I's and T/E3's, now they're a challenge, particularly when the E3's have Mag or Ion pulses

Ahhh I really want to play X-wing Alliance more. I barely have. Alas, I have a Mac…

Oddly enough, my first thought was that this was very reminiscent of the art style of the 1980s-era of Dan Dare in the British weekly Eagle magazine.
