From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The YT-5100 Shriek-class bomber was a Corellian craft used in the Second Galactic Civil War.

Characteristics

They were shaped like smaller YT-1300 light freighters, but with the side cockpit moved to a location in the center. Their armaments included frontal torpedo tubes, concussion missiles, a top-mounted quad laser cannon, and a bottom-mounted bomb/spotter droid drop pod. They had three engines and were painted black. Their pilots wore green and black/white suits.

History

As of 40 ABY, only ten late-model prototypes and several earlier models existed. The Galactic Alliance lacked intelligence on these bombers due to their novelty and the Corellians used that to their advantage. Several of them were organized into Panther Flight for the Battle of Tralus, two of which were piloted by Han Solo and Wedge Antilles.
