Background: The Toscan 8-Q starfighter was the base model of the Toscan Multipurpose Fighter (or Toscan MPF), a starfighter manufactured by Shobquix Yards long before the Clone Wars. During the Galactic Civil War, it was almost obsolete.
he basic Toscan 8-Q was equipped only with a Class 2 hyperdrive, low-powered shields, basic nav computer, life support for a single pilot, and a basic weapon package consisting of two laser cannons, leaving ample room for improvements. The cockpit design was produced by Koensayr Manufacturing and was ultimately used in Koensayr’s own BTL Y-wing starfighter.
Shobquix Yards designed the Toscan 8-Q as an open-frame starfighter for other shipyards to modify in order to fill various starfighter roles, with both Shobquix and the entity that finished the Toscan profiting. The limited stock components and open frame provided extensive space for heavier weapon systems, maneuvering thrusters, additional crew or cargo capacity, or any other improvements desired by the finishing yard.
