Delta-7 Aethersprite-class Light Interceptor

The Delta 7 Aethersprite was more commonly refered to as the Jedi Starfighter since this Starfighter was originally used primarily by the Jedi Order prior to the Clone Wars. This Starfighter was originally designed and built by Kuat Systems Engineering but at some point between the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War the entire Delta Series line of Starfighters was bought up by Sienar Fleet Systems for a healthy sum of credits.

At first look the Delta series of Starfighters show features that are reminiscent of the Republic’s very own A-Wing Starfighters. This is because the Starfighter was designed by an engineer by the name of Walex Blissex who latter on with the assistance of General Jan Dodonna designed the A-Wing Starfighter.

The Starfighter by all means is small weighing in at a meare 8 meters in length the Starfighter was compact to the point that the Astromech unit needed to be hardwired into the ship’s interface and in order for the Starfighter to be hyperspace capable had to utilize a hyperspace docking ring.

Weapons for the Starfighter consisted of 2 dual laser cannons awhile primarily relying on the maneuverability of the Starfighter to survive combat situations. Though a relic of a bygone era the Delta 7 has lead to some recent innovations. Sienar Fleet Systems the current owners of the design have made a brief visit of this design in order to provide the people of Naboo a choice between two potential Starfighters to serve the people of Naboo as there patrol craft. The Queen latter sided with relying on the new N-2 Fighter also designed by Sienar’s Research and Development department.
