Star Wars: The best ships in the prequels

The Scimitar (Sith Infiltrator)

Darth Maul was one of the most mysterious and cool looking characters in The Phantom Menace and had a ship that was a perfect fit for this dark warrior. The Scimitar was dark grey, almost blackish in color. Its wings were Tie Fighter-esque but then it had this long protruding beak that came off the front of it.

The cockpit was lit up by red lights that almost looked like eyes. The back had green lights that gave it an ominous glow as it passed by. This was a ship that screamed evil and seemed like it was forged out of the Dark Side itself. Though we never got to see the ship in a battle, apparently it was decked out with six laser cannons, a proton torpedo launcher, and could even lay mines.

After Maul’s defeat at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Duel of the Fates on Naboo, the ship fell into the possession of Darth Sidious, and there are some tales about it which include it being lent to a bounty hunter, but who knows if those will remain a part of canon or not.
