Star-4 Interceptor

The Star-4 Interceptor was a modern version of the ancient Sith Interceptor from the time of the Jedi Civil War.

Specifications
The Star-4 was as fast and slightly more maneuverable than a TIE Interceptor, but not quite as versatile.

When docked, not in use, or traveling through hyperspace, the Sith interceptor had the ability to fold its wings and power down its weapon systems. In combat, these were unfolded, and the laser cannons brought to bear, a concept later seen in the S-foils. This allowed it a broad attack arc, while its small profile made it difficult to target.

History
In 13 ABY, a small company known as Outer Rim Manufacturing, or ORM, obtained an old Sith Interceptor, and began to redesign and upgrade it. This work was finished in late 16 ABY, and ORM named the upgrade the Star-4 Interceptor.

In 17 ABY the company secretly began to produce the new Star-4 Interceptor in small numbers for use by an obscure Sith group called the Sith Covenant.
