The P1 was a Sphyrna-class Hammerhead corvette that served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic's fleet. Before the Galactic Civil War, the ship was sent by Senator Bail Organa to reinforce Commander Jun Sato's unit of the rebellion along with two other Hammerheads, the P2 and P3. The three ships were stolen by one of Sato's sub-units, the Spectres, during a raid on the planet Lothal.[2] When part of Phoenix Cell, it was one of the few ships to escape the disastrous Battle of Atollon, where its sister ship P2 was destroyed by the Galactic Empire, along with many other ships.[4]
Behind the scenes
The P1 first appeared in "A Princess on Lothal," the mid-season premier of the second season of the Star Wars Rebels TV series aired on Disney XD January 20, 2016.[6] It was first identified in the corresponding episode guide on StarWars.com, along with Hammerhead corvettes P2 and P3.[7] Star Wars: The Rebel Files later identified the three corvettes featured in "A Princess on Lothal" as Lightmaker, Duchess Senna, and Amity's Arrow.[8]
Save for the lack of the Aurebesh characters "P1" on the film's model,[7] the markings of P1 match that of the Sphyrna-class corvette featured in the late-2016 Anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,[9] which was also identified as the Lightmaker by the film's novelization.[10] However, any correspondence between the three corvettes named in The Rebel Files and the three corvettes in "A Princess on Lothal" has not been acknowledged by any official source to date.
