DS-61-3, nicknamed "Backstabber", was a Corellian Imperial TIE pilot, known for his viciousness in combat, and Darth Vader's right wingman in Black Squadron. He flew Black 3 during the Battle of Yavin, flanking Darth Vader, where he successfully defended the station's thermal exhaust port up until he got behind Luke Skywalker. At the end of the battle, he was shot down by the Millennium Falcon.

FAQ[]

  • “Backstabber” only rolls the additional attack die granted by his ability if no portion of his base is inside any of the printed firing arcs on the defender’s ship token.
  • A ship with a turret primary or a Turret secondary weapon is still affected by "Backstabber" if no portion of his base is inside any of the printed firing arcs on the defender’s ship token. (X-Wing FAQ, Version 3.1.1, Updated 07/24/2015)
