衍生宇宙



Prototypes of the Slayn and Korpil V-19 Torrent starfighter were first introduced at the Battle of Geonosis. Having proven their worth as an assault fighter with exceptional speed and maneuverability, the Republic quickly produced V-19s to add to the arsenal of the growing clone army. Because of the months of training it took for the Republic's clone trooper pilots to become proficient with the vessel, the fighter was not available in large numbers for some of the early engagements of the war, but they made a prominent showing during the Battle of Muunilinst.
斯莱恩与科皮尔的V-19“激流”星际战斗机原型最早在吉奥诺西斯战役中亮相。这种突击战斗机以杰出的速度和机动性证明它们的价值后，共和国迅速生产了更多V-19以扩充日益壮大的克隆人军队武器库。由于共和国的克隆人飞行员要经过几个月的训练才能熟练驾驶这种飞船，因此在战争早期的一些战斗中，这种战斗机没有被大量使用，但它们在缪尼林斯特战役中表现卓越。

Initially designed as a short-range fighter, Republic technicians later added a Class-1 hyperdrive to equip the vessel for escort missions. The ship is unique in that it has two pairs of folding airfoils that give the ship added maneuverability and provides pilots with easy access to the ship's sliding canopy. The lower split airfoils coupled with enhanced repulsorlift engines make the ship an exceptional vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter.
V-19最初被设计为短程战斗机，后来，共和国工程师们为其安装了1级超空间驱动器，以用于护航任务。这种飞船的独特之处在于有两对可折叠机翼。这赋予了这种飞船额外的机动性，也便于飞行员使用飞船的滑动舱盖。下部的铰接机翼加上增强的反重力引擎使这种飞船成为杰出的垂直起降（VTOL）战斗机。

幕后



As external licensees began exploring the action of the Clone Wars, it became clear that the Republic needed a fighter-class space ship that was faster and more maneuverable than the Republic gunship, something the clones could pilot in support of the Jedi starfighter. For this task, Lucas Licensing turned to LucasArts' Art Director, Chris Williams and Concept Artist Greg Knight, who together have had over 1,000 approved Star Wars designs used in games and comic books.
随着外部特许制作商开始研究克隆人战争的战斗场景，人们清楚地意识到，共和国需要一种战斗机级别的太空飞船，它应该比共和国炮艇更快，机动性更好，克隆人可以驾驶它支援绝地星际战斗机。为此，卢卡斯品牌授权公司求助于卢卡斯艺界的艺术总监克里斯·威廉斯和概念画家格雷格·奈特，因为这两位共有1000多项被认可的《星球大战》设计被用于游戏和漫画书。

While the Republic gunship emphasizes cargo, the Torrent fighter is about speed, blasters and maneuverability. The wings are bolted onto an engine to communicate this sense of power. The Torrent fighter's folding wings were inspired by the F4U Corsair of World War 2. The three wings are designed to fold up and out of the way so you could pack row after row of these vehicles together in the limited space of an assault ship. When the fighter takes off, it hovers for a second while the wings rotate into place.
共和国炮艇强调运输能力，而“激流”战斗机偏重于速度、爆能炮和机动性。机翼闩在引擎上就传达出了这种力度感。“激流”战斗机的可折叠机翼以第二次世界大战中的F4U海盗式战斗机为灵感。其三块机翼被设计为可以向上和向外折叠，这样你就能在突击舰的有限空间里把这种战斗机一排接一排地挤在一起。战斗机起飞时，会稍作悬停，让机翼旋转就位。
