Delta-7 Aethersprite-class Light Interceptor

The Delta-7 Aethersprite-class Light Interceptor, more commonly known as the Delta-7 Aethersprite light interceptor or Jedi starfighter due to its extensive use by Jedi, was an interceptor commissioned just before the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY.

The starfighter was considered highly advanced at the time of its creation and carried sophisticated equipment, but it was expensive to produce. The ship was armed with two twin laser cannons (later models modified by Jedi Master Saesee Tiin would contain four quad-pulse laser cannons hidden behind breakaway panels, in addition to its usual complement of two twin laser cannons), and an advanced communication and sensor array kept the pilot of the ship well-prepared in firefights as well as peacetime.

The Delta-7 fighter was fairly prominent in the Clone Wars, mainly due to its use by Jedi. One of the most famous encounters and tests of the Delta-7 was the tracking of bounty hunter Jango Fett by Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi through the asteroid fields of Geonosis.

Notes: The Delta-7 requires a separate hyperdrive module in the form of a booster ring (the TransGalMeg Industries hyperdrive booster ring). Docking with the ring takes 3 rounds to accomplish, and requires a Difficult starfighter piloting skill check (the fighter’s maneuverability counts for this roll). Additionally, the Delta-7 incorporates a specially designed astromech droid (R3-D series), which is hardwired into the starfighter. Without the proper droid, the pilot suffers a -1D penalty to his astrogation skill checks. The droid suffers the same penalty to both its astrogation and starfighter repair skill checks.
