Overview
The Stinger Mantis began as an S-161 “Stinger” XL, a luxury yacht from Latero Spaceworks[6]. Greez Dritus bought it on a big loan, named it himself and flew it for Cere Junda and Cal Kestis[1].
The Mantis features in the games Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor, where it is the crew's home and base of operations[3]. Cere hired the ship to help her find surviving Jedi, and she and Greez later modified it for stealth[3].
How it flies and fights
The Mantis is built in sections around a rotating middle segment, with two laser cannons mounted above the cockpit[2][3]. Its designers drew on old submarines and on ships from A New Hope to give it a heavy-machinery feel[3]. Under the yacht's skin it has a hyperdrive for long jumps[6] and the stealth modifications Cere helped add[3].
