On the remote world of Utapau, the sinkhole cities are lined with landing platforms that support all manner of incoming and outgoing vessels, including native craft such as the sleek Utapau P-38 starfighter. These vessels were employed with the natives during a battle to liberate their world from Separatist occupational forces in the Clone Wars. When the Separatists took over Utapau during the Clone Wars, Port Administrator Tion Medon had the local militia hide their starfighter forces from prying Confederacy eyes, keeping these secret weapons and their skilled pilots in reserve for when an opportunity to strike back against their oppressors presented itself. When Obi-Wan surreptitiously signalled Medon that Republic help is on the way, word spread quickly through the Utapau underground. By the time open battle erupted in Pau City and clone troopers stormed the Separatist outpost, the Utapaun fliers joined the fray. Built by Buuper Torsckil Abbey Devices, the Porax-38 fighter has acute sensors, strong shields, a limited hyperdrive and twin laser cannons. The tiny cockpit can only hold the stubby Utai natives, and not the taller Pau'an species.
