Star Wars: 9 Secrets Of The Ghost Ship You Need To Know

9. How Fast The Ghost Is

Anyone who has had the pleasure of witnessing this Ghost in action on the big and small screen already will likely know that Hera Syndulla's Star Wars transport can seriously move when enemy TIE fighters are incoming.

But were you aware of exactly how rapid this ship could be when pushed to its absolute limit?

Well, according to Pablo Hidalgo's Star Wars Rebels: Head to Head young readers book, the light freighter has been clocked at a maximum speed of 1,025 kph.

For comparison, one of the fastest ships in the galaxy, the Millennium Falcon, was said to have been pushed to a maximum of 1,200 kph when in possession of Lando Calrissian (via Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide) before eventually settling into having a top speed of 1,050 kph later down the road (as revealed in the Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know book).

And something as light as the N-1 Starfighter only moved 50 kph quicker than the Ghost at its fastest, too (via Star Wars: Ships of the Galaxy).

Put simply, this Rebel ship could get a hell of a shift on when it needed to.
