Delphiki Starfighter

Delphiki Starfighter

The Delphiki Starfighter was a vehicle that was the first mass-produced ship that used Delphiki’s Plasma Current Chip technology. These were not piloted by droids or organisms, but rather controlled by a droid brain based on plasma currents instead of electricity. This meant that the plasma generated a strong magnetic shield that protected the starfighter, which spared the need for purchasing shield generators.

Armament
The Delphiki Starfighter, commonly abbreviated to “D-Fighter,” was flat and propelled by a single plasma-based engine in the rear of the craft. The starfighter was armed with two laser cannons, which produced unique yellow beams, an ion cannon, and a concussion missile tube that held five missiles. It was also equipped with a proton bomb launcher that held three bombs, but this feature was seldom used in battle.

Other Features
Since the droid starfighter was based on plasma currents instead of electric circuits, the droid’s most active features were shielded as a side-effect of the flowing charged particles. The starfighter was still equipped with two shield generators to further armor the craft, so the fighter was difficult to destroy in battle. There were two wings on the ship’s sides which changed position when in flight, when fighting, and when parked, similar to the ‘’Lambda’’-class shuttles and the T-65 X-Wing Starfighters.

History
The Delphiki Fighters were manufactured upon the Hutt’s demand for an army to assist their efforts in the planned Second Clone War. The starfighters were a test of Delphiki’s plasma current design, and proved to be successful. However, Delphiki developed the Super-D Starfighter sometime later, just before the start of the war, and sold the ships to the Hutts. The Super-D Starfighters replaced the Delphiki Fighters for the most part, though the D-Fighters were still commonly seen in space battles.
