The guts of one opened Parasite reveal sensors and comm gear but nothing is said of any hyperdrive tech.

Though Narra has a hyperdrive, it is explicitly not manned during jumps and is presumably shut down.Īn Imperial plot involves Parasite droids, which attach to the hulls of New Republic ships using claws, suggesting that the crew doesn't need to even know about their passengers to take them with. Night Caller also carries around the shuttle Narra connected to an external docking port.It has no problem carrying these fighters through hyperspace jumps despite the jury-rigged nature of the docking ports. The pocket carrier Night Caller ends up carrying a number of TIE fighters (which have no hyperdrives of their own) by docking them directly to its escape pod hatches.

In Legends, it is clear that any object fixed to the side of a ship that jumps to hyperspace is carried along with it (potentially without that ship's knowledge).įor instance, there are several examples in the X-Wing novel Wraith Squadron: The tracking device was obviously smaller than that, so although we know it can be done we do not know it the Millennium Falcon is small enough to be carried along with the Star Destroyer it was attached to. Slave 1 is 21.5 meters long, so a similar comparison would be something 0.47 meters long attached to its hull. This implies that there's a point at which a ship is too big to be carried along during a jump.Īccording to the Star Wars wiki the Millennium Falcon is about 35 meters long compared to a Star Destroyer's 1600 meters. To engage in a little bit of speculation (because I don't know if there's any Canon source for it), I'm guessing you need a stronger hyperdrive for a bigger ship, so there's no way for a ship like the Millennium Falcon to initiate a jump and pull the star destroyer along with it (a ship with a massively overpowered hyperdrive for maneuvers like that would make for an interesting tactical tool). So we have a Canon example of something that is small relative to the ship it is attached to being carried through hyperspace without the ship needing to be aware. In episode 2, Obiwan throws a tracking device onto Slave 1 ( as shown in this clip on youtube), enabling him to follow it to another system.
