- "I want a Rogue-class starfighter with elite weapons, cloaking device, the works."
- ―Cad Bane, to Darth Sidious
The Xanadu Blood was a modified Rogue-class Porax-38 starfighter owned by the Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane. The Xanadu Blood was given to Cad Bane by Darth Sidious as payment for his theft of a holocron and the kyber memory crystal as well as his usual rate times three.[2] Bane used it during his kidnapping of Wee Dunn from Rodia and Zinn Toa from Glee Anselm, and lost the ship when he was captured.[4] Bane regained custody of his ship and used it to hunt down Ziro the Hutt.[5] At some point, Bane replaced the Xanadu Blood with a new ship, the Justifier.[6]
The Xanadu Blood was primarily green in color with yellow and red markings.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
The Xanadu Blood first appeared in the episode "Children of the Force" of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. "Xanadu" in the English language refers to an idyllic place, originating from the 1816 poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge that was inspired by Shangdu, the summer capital of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty in China during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.[7]
