Anyone seen a model/toy/figure/kit for the YX-1980 in or around the same scale as X-Wing? Google has failed me and this seemed like the best place to turn next.

Should give us a picture of the ship so we know what we are looking for.

Based on these floor plans, it looks like it is very roughly about 40m long by 50m wide. At X-Wing 1:270 scale this would be about 5.7" long by 7.2" wide.

The famous one was known as "The Grinning Liar", if that helps. Searching for that hasn't helped me so far either.

Not too far off from the Falcon.

Kinda reminds me of a wanna be concept Ebon Hawk

Has anyone seen a toy of this overly obscure deep lore ship?

That's what I'd like to know.

Considering Shapeways has all kinds of ships I've never heard of, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for this one to be available in some form somewhere.

I thought you were looking for an officialy released product, and you won't find that (as you figured out)...

I don't know why, but that ship and colour scheme are simultaneously gorgeous and hideous. I think I love it, especially with those wasteful cutouts, and sloped edges.

It look like it could have been on robot wars in all the best ways 👌

? Mass reduction is wasteful?

The YX-1980 looks like it has a higher surface area to volume ratio than a ship like the falcon. But it certainly looks like a star wars ship.

I suppose in lore it might have a reason 🤔 but I've never read the comics / books it's from.

My group is playing Star Wars Saga Edition. The first dog fight I got into was with a tie fighter. We both failed our piloting rolls by a lot resulting in a mid air space collision. Tie was destroyed and my paint was scratched. That moment I decided that this will be my pilot's preferred method for dealing with any future encounters. 😎 Well, for small ships anyway.

I remember many many moons (that's no moon it's a gaming quote!!) ago, when we were playing the WEG Starwars rpg (first and still the best!), we were having a battle between our heavily modded yt-1300 (arn't they all?!), and a small (for a capital ship) Imperial prisoner transport ship. We were trying to break out a rebel scientist who had been caught by the Imps. As we were on an intercept course with the Imps, we ionized their controls. And...they ionized ours.

Result? We collided with their ship. Our light (heavily modified) freighter plowed through the Imps capital (though lightly built as it wasn't designed for combat at all) ship, totally destroying the Imps ship!! The yt-1300 made it out through the other side, but a meter shorter....

Luckily, my character (who owned and also was the pilot of the yt-1300) made a stupidly high skill roll (capital ship repair roll from memory), and 'knew' which prisoner cell our target would be in. Another amazingly high roll followed and I located said prisoner cell, and used our tractor beam and pulled it into our hold.

When asked by the other characters how I knew what cell the target was in, I just said it was something that happened a long time ago, don't worry about it!

We rescued our target, though they were very battered, bruised, and very, very confused!!
