	Corellian gunship - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Armed with eight double turbolaser cannons, four concussion missile tubes, and six quad laser cannons, the Corellian gunship was effective against both larger capital ships as well as starfighters.
		The design of the gunship is based on early concept art from the pre-production of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, depicting a lean, small warship which was originally conceived as an "Imperial starship" in the rough draft, evolving into a "pirate ship" as the script developed.
		The gunship was first described in detail in the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook in 1990, but Rebel gunships based off the same concept-art designs first appeared in issue #12 of the Marvel Star Wars comics in 1978: these are generally regarded as Corellian gunships of the same or similar design.

	Corellian Gunship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		XA incorrectly depicts the Gunship with 8 engines and incorrectly states that its length is 119 metres, and its crew is 60 to 150 depending on its configuration.
		The gunners are trained to work in unison, and utilize the vessel's weapons to their utmost capabilities to surround the vessel with a barrier of laser fire which is nearly impenetrable, and thus cause substantial damage to any starfighter squadrons that dare to attack.
		It must be noted that individuals trying to gain internal access to the Gunship while it is in the process of leaving the atmosphere (after the individual has made it into the engine assembly via speeder bike) will suffer heat and/or electrical damage (since the engines generate a considerable sum of static electricity).

	CATH: Gunship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Gunship's real nemesis, however, is the lightning-fast Interceptor, armed as it is with deadly, aircraft-killing missiles.
		The Interceptor is a high-altitude combat aircraft (meaning simply that the Gunship cannot attack it), with the ability to swoop down out of the clouds and destroy any Gunship it might chance to encounter, then swiftly return to its relatively safe cruising altitude before any other enemy unit can react.
		Ergo: no Gunship squadron should be deployed without sufficient high-altitude air cover of its own, but with air superiority firmly established, the Gunship can be a deadly and feared weapon of war.

	Samus Aran's gunship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is quite possible that the gunship in Metroid Prime is a completely different ship, seeing as it has a slightly 'chunky' design, and four fire thrusters on the bottom instead of what appear to be repulsor lifts or anti-gravity lifts on her ship from Prime 2.
		It should be noted that Samus's gunship in Metroid Prime: Hunters is the same one as Metroid Prime, so whether Samus had her ship replaced or upgraded, it happened between Hunters and Echoes.
		The purple gunship (see picture above) that Samus pilots in Metroid: Fusion is actually a ship that she borrowed from the Galactic Federation due to her own ship colliding with the asteroid belt in that game.

	CRASH 47 - Gunship
		MicroProse's Gunship, one of those complex simulations so popular in America, is an attempt to recreate the reality of flying a US Army armoured helicopter, the state-of-the-art AH-64A Apache introduced in 1982.
		To add to the effect, Gunship's two cassettes and hard cardboard case (the American-style packaging which supported its great success on the Commodore 64 there) come complete with an 88-page 'operations manual' giving every detail of the game - and technical specifications of the real helicopter, its armament and its enemies.
