Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
Manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems, Obsidian 7 was the designation of a TIE/ln starfighter serving the Imperial Navy's Obsidian Squadron by 3 ABY. Modified for upper atmosphere pursuits and maneuvers, Obsidian 7 was operated by a TIE pilot nicknamed "Winged Gundark" for an impressive number of career kills in high-altitude battles by 3 ABY.
During that year, the Galactic Empire took over the planet Bespin, with the intent to capture the YT-1300 light freighter Millennium Falcon. When the Millennium Falcon subsequently escaped from Bespin's Cloud City, Obsidian 7 was among the TIE fighters that pursued the freighter into space. However, the squadron was unsuccessful in its pursuit, with the Millennium Falcon evading Imperial capture. Obsidian 7 was armed with a pair of L-s1 laser cannons.
