"Wings of the Master" Episode Guide | Star Wars Rebels - S2 E7

With a violent atmosphere of gas and lightning, Shantipole was avoided by most pilots and practically desolate. That’s what made it the perfect workplace for Quarrie, a master engineer and starfighter designer. It was on Shantipole that he toiled on his creations, far away from the watchful eye of the Empire. After years of work, he created the Blade Wing — a.k.a. the B-wing — and the rebel pilot Hera tested the experimental craft amidst Shantipole’s mountain spires and dactillions.

BG-81 was an astromech droid in the service of Quarrie, a starfighter engineer on Shantipole. The droid assisted Quarrie in the construction of his experimental Blade Wing craft, and was present for both its test run and first field operation.

Ibaar was devasted when the Empire cut off all food and ration imports to the planet. It was only through the intervention of the rebellion and the Ghost crew — along with the experimental new B-wing starfighter — that food was finally delivered to Ibaar’s starving populace.

Eesh Fahm was a miner on Ibaar, a world devastated by the Empire. He ran an underground network that sought to help his people, and worked with the rebellion to bring food and supplies past the Imperial blockade.

Created by Quarrie, a master engineer, the Blade Wing prototype — later nicknamed the B-wing — was unlike any starfighter previously known. It featured on-board ion cannons and proton torpedoes, advances in speed, and a gyroscopic rotating cockpit. Quarrie built the Blade Wing in secret on Shantipole, where the Empire had no presence. The craft would not take to the skies, however, until the arrival the rebels Hera, Sabine, and Zeb, who were looking for a powerful new starfighter to bust Imperial blockades. Hera became the Blade Wing’s test pilot and shortly after took it into battle, where it decimated an Imperial battleship and led to a successful mission.

A short, prideful Mon Calamari, Quarrie was a master engineer who created the Blade Wing — commonly known as the B-wing. He enjoyed his work, and was eager to experiment in speed, agility, and weaponry, though he was no pilot himself. During the early days of the rebellion, Quarrie gifted his B-wing to Hera and Phoenix Squadron, helping turn the tide in one key battle and giving the fleet some much-needed firepower.
