- "Arcade Perfect" Delta 7 with no alterations
- Very fast and highly manueverable
- Excellent as the main sub to take into combat or as the basis for unique ,semi unique, limited, or minor variation subs
- Interceptor: Its speed and agility make it a terror to go up against even today, as many famous interceptor designs are descended from it. This allows it to stay in fights and potentially triumph against more modern designs, as its frame is simply that well designed.
- Classic: A classic fighter design with pilot comfort and safety in mind, with easy to learn controls for even the most novice users
- Modularity: Can be modified endlessly to the hearts content (Will require a new sub for anything other than color or aesthetic changes)
- Weak Defense: It's hull can take maybe one hit, it's shields can take mayby two direct hits
- Weak Weaponry: It's laser weapons and warhead launchers aren't going to be able to hurt anything bigger than fighters
- Outdated Electronics: It's electronics are outdated in design, copied only because of the ease to do so. They are easily jammed, especially older examples, and are vastly more vulnerable to ion attack than average
- Hyperdrive maintainance issues: It needs a seperate docking ring to go into hyperspace. That's a completely different set of tools and time issues required. Most governments won't fork over creds for ring production unless they're desperate, plus, if you lose the ring in deep space, you are doomed.
Delta-7 Interceptors were once the last word in Starfighter Combat, so deadly and manueverable that even today, it's design can hold its own against even the most modern fighter in a straight dogfight. Developed originally exclusively for Jedi, the Fighter continued to show utility even during early parts of the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Most were destroyed during the Jedi Purge, leaving those that survived from that era to develop a mystique, gaining a nigh mythic reputation for its speed and agility. Vintage examples sometimes turn up preserved in ancient garage sized stasis chambers created by Jedi Survivors, or are in the private collections of wealthy enthusiasts. They are more often reproduced by various factions shamelessly copying the original Kuat Design as surplus fighters for planetary defense, as their lack of a hyperdive limits their utility ultimately unless a booster ring is acquired.
Excellent as a starting sub for pilot characters, or as the basis for other subs.
