How the Tantive IV Was Tracked Through Hyperspace #starwars | Star Wars Explained


Report from the Holocron of Xela. Description: How did Darth Vader’s star destroyer follow the Rebel blockade runner through hyperspace if hyperspace tracking hadn’t been invented yet? The answer is found in a story in From a Certain Point of View, Raymus by Gary Whitta, who was one of the writers of Rogue One. According to the story, the Tantive Four was docked in Admiral Raddus’s ship at the Battle of Scarif because its hyperdrive was in need of repairs. By the time they made their escape, the ship was barely able to make the jump to lightspeed. The malfunctioning hyperdrive motivator left behind what one officer on the blockade runner called an abnormal hyperspace wake. Captain Raymus Antilles compared it to a leaky oil pan, leaving behind the ship a residual energy signature that was unique and traceable.
