While
General Grievous commands entire fleets of massive capital vessels including his flagship
Trade Federation cruiser, such spacefaring titans are impractical when it comes to planet-bound campaigns. For solo transit into a planetary atmosphere, Grievous pilots an overpowered starfighter that, like his robotic skeleton, combines sleek curves and an aggressive silhouette that suits his vanity.
During the Utapau campaign, Grievous kept his starfighter docked on a secret landing platform reserved solely for him. As he attempted to flee the planet when clone forces attacked, Grievous used his wheel bike to speed towards his hidden platform, but a tenacious Jedi general, Obi-Wan Kenobi, dogged his every step. The two sparred on the platform, as Kenobi tried valiantly to prevent Grievous from escaping yet again.
Kenobi managed to kill Grievous, and abscond with his starfighter. He used the fighter's communications system to transmit an emergency 9-13 Jedi distress code after the catastrophe of Order 66, and piloted the starfighter to rendezvous with Bail Organa.
