Game Note: The Delta-7 requires a separate hyperdrive module in the form of a booster ring (the TransGalMeg Industries Syluire-31 hyperdrive booster ring). Docking with the ring takes 3 rounds to accomplish, and requires a Difficult starfighter piloting roll (the fighter’s maneuverability counts for this roll). Additionally, the Delta-7 incorporates a specially-designed astromech droid (R4-P 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.
Background: The Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor, also known as the Delta-7 Jedi starfighter or Delta-7 Jedi Interceptor, and commonly referred to as the Jedi starfighter, was a starfighter model designed by Kuat Systems Engineering and used by the Jedi Order before and during the Clone Wars. The variant Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor was also used by the Jedi during the Clone Wars. The Delta-7 would also be used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic in their early campaigns against the Galactic Empire.
