In normal flight, they were pulled flush with the hull, but in the event of combat they were extended out. A pair of extensible vanes enhanced the maneuverability of the ship. In the event of a power overload, the engine cowling had eight bleed-off vents that would direct discharges away from the power core. These gave the IG-2000 an impressive sublight speed that matched even Boba Fett's highly customized Slave I.
She was fitted with a single KDY Galaxy-15 ion engine that was stolen from a decommissioned Nebulon-B frigate, and drew its power from three Quadex power cores. While its mass was significantly greater than most starfighters, this was because the majority of the interior space was devoted to engines and weapon systems. The vessel was 20 meters long and had been specially designed for combat.
