R93 Refractor

About the R93 Refractor

The R93 Refractor, introduced in Star Wars: Outlaws — A Pirate’s Fortune, is a fascinating starfighter used by the Rokana Raiders, with unique dual-rotating wings with 3 configurations:

1. Docking Mode: Both wings rotated up, side-by-side.
2. Scout Mode: When taking off, the large wing rotates down, allowing for all 3 engines to be in use, but only 2 of the cannons active. As the landing gear retracts, a stabilizer extends from the bottom of the fuselage.
3. Assault Mode: Both wings rotate horizontal, with the larger wing on the port side. Power is diverted from the 2 side engines to the 2 extra cannons, resulting in increased firepower, but reduced maneuverability.

About this MOC

I’m proud to be the first (and only, as far as I know) person to design a LEGO version of this unique ship. It was extremely challenging to design, and I spent hours studying the ship with the in-game photo mode. I utilized LEGO Technic turntables for the rotating wings and lots of SNOT techniques to achieve the round shape. The wings stay upright in docked mode and I made small transparent supports under the wings to display it in assault mode, because the Technic turntables don’t have resistance and the wings are quite large). The wings are very strong, due to the interlocking Technic pins and axles, allowing you to pick it up and hold it from them, achieving maximum swooshability.

Alternate Gray Colorway

If you don’t like the canon white and purple version, I’ve also included an alternate gray colorway, for a more traditional Star Wars feel, that may fit into your collection better. It’s approximately the same price as what’s shown for the canon version. For this version, use the “gray parts list” XML file.
