Vulture-class droid starfighter

thingiverse

The Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark I, also known as the Vulture-class droid starfighter or simply vulture droid, was a highly advanced droid starfighter used by the Trade Federation and later in much greater numbers by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It saw heavy action in the Clone Wars at engagements like the Battles of Kamino and Coruscant. Unlike most of the Trade Federation's armed forces, it had no living pilot, relying instead on a sophisticated droid brain linked to a central control computer often located aboard a Lucrehulk-class Droid Control Ship. Each Trade Federation battleship carried 1,500 such droid starfighters, making them a formidable force on the battlefield. The Vulture-class was designed by Haor Chall Engineering, founded by the fanatical Xi Char, a religious order dedicated to precision manufacturing. As a result, it embodied classic Xi Charrian design - an insectoid appearance, multiple weapons emplacements, and a compact body that minimized its target size for enemy fighters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I convert 3D models from various sources without creating them myself.
