Nubian N-7 Kite Class Interceptor

1,095 RondenKiagre  3.6 years ago

Attempted competitor to the KDY Delta-7 Aethersprite, rejected by the Jedi Order despite its nominally superior flight preformance due to high cost and maintenance, as well as lack of compatibility with either astromech units or hyperdrive booster rings. Several dozen were procured by the Royal Naboo Starfighter Corps for testing, who also refused to adopt the craft due to issues of cost, range, and reliability, as well as the lack of both shielding and advanced avionics that were par for the course on Jedi starfighters. The units that survived testing were reassigned to the Royal Naboo Aerobatics Squadron, where they remained a popular fixture of the unit's preformances for the rest of their service lives.
