STRENGTHS

• Swarm: The vulture droid is designed to operate and overwhelm with large numbers.
• Nimble: Due to the lack of an organic pilot, the fighter is capable of impressive aerobatics.
• Independent: All units are equipped with a droid brain which allow them to operate on their own or in complex situations.
• Support: The droid’s four legs can deploy to allow it to stick to surfaces as well as act as a walker for ground forces.

WEAKNESSES

• Defenses: Meant to be nimble and overwhelming, the droid features sparse defenses.
• Speed: While very agile, the droid can be outrun in a straight flight at times.
• Droid: Despite being a capable fighter, the Vulture Droid can be outsmarted or tampered with under some conditions.
• Range: The droid has no hyperdrive, severely limiting its operational range to a radius around the carrier.

DESCRIPTION
A simple way to secure a region or capture an area from almost any threat is to simply overwhelm it. But with skilled pilots being a precious resource, the only option is to look at droids. Inspiration from the past lead to the plan to create a droid substitute that can support organic pilots and provide support with rapid response.

With surprisingly quick development, the Confederate Navy adopted the Vulture-class Droid Starfighter. On its own the droid isn’t very impressive. But when grouped together in large squadrons, the Vulture Droid is able to easily overwhelm and threaten most dangers to the Confederacy’s interests.
