Tech Turn

The "Tech Turn" was a starship maneuver allowing a ship's pilot to move forward at high speeds before deactivating thrust and performing a sharp turn, then re-activating thrust to once again take off at high speeds. The maneuver's nickname was derived from the name of Clone Force 99 member Tech by enhanced clone Omega, though Tech maintained that it was not the maneuver's actual name. It was performed in 19 BBY by Tech during a mission on the planet Ryloth to free the leaders of the Free Ryloth Movement, and was later performed during or after 18 BBY by Omega while Tech was training her to pilot Clone Force 99's Omicron-class attack shuttle Marauder on the planet Pabu. The maneuver was also performed by Ace Squadron pilot Torra Doza in 34 ABY during the Battle of Barabesh.
