Canon Linked from 2 articles
The Widowmaker was a starfighter maneuver in which a pilot landed their starship on a larger vessel to remain hidden from scans, then restarted their engines once out of scanner range. At some point, the Resistance pilot Poe Dameron and the mechanic Jarek Yeager came to consider performing a Widowmaker risky. In 34 ABY, Dameron guided the Resistance operative Kazuda Xiono in performing a Widowmaker to depart from the supertanker fuel depot Colossus undetected by First Order scans.
