Reverse Throttle Hop

The Reverse Throttle Hop was a starfighter combat maneuver designed to counter a Break and to aid an attacking starfighter in staying on its target. Requiring well-developed reflexes and split-second timing, it was a difficult technique. When an opponent breaks, the starfighter doing the Reverse Throttle Hop pulls above the opponent, decelerates, and subsequently maneuvers to be behind its opponent. If the timing is incorrect, the starfighter making the maneuver can give an advantage to an opponent.
