Kit Fisto's Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor/Legends

Kit Fisto flew a Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor during the waning years of the Clone Wars as an intergalactic peacekeeper, a role he thoroughly enjoyed.

History


Using a hyperspace docking ring, Jedi Master Kit Fisto flew his Delta-7B to a moon of Vassek with his astromech, R6-H5, and landed it in the fog not far from the Nu-class attack shuttle that carried Jedi Knight Nahdar Vebb and a small clone squad to the planet. Later IG-100 MagnaGuards, searching the area for intruders, came upon Fisto's Delta-7B. Arsix took off before the guards could do any damage, and although one Magnaguard attempted to hang on to the starfighter, it was shaken off with some maneuvering by Arsix.

Not long after, Arsix contacted Fisto, who instructed the droid to fly the ship to a south landing platform where he would rendezvous for extraction. Arsix arrived in time to see his master locked in a duel with General Grievous and surrounded by MagnaGuards. Arsix flew in close enough for Master Fisto to leap out of the fray to safety. Fisto and Arsix then used the Delta-7B to escape the moon and then traveled to Coruscant in it to report back to the Jedi Council.

Modifications


Jedi training had only perfected Fisto's piloting abilities, while the precise and responsive controls of his ship enhanced them even further. His flying tactics were as graceful as they were deadly, inspiring awe and respect in friend and foe alike. As a result of his preferences and skills, Fisto did fewer performance enhancing modifications to ships he flew. However, it is very likely that he modified this fighter in the same manner as the Delta-7 he flew earlier during the Clone Wars, due to his continuing philosophy that the faster he could get on the ground, the sooner he'd be able to get into the fight. Therefore, he very well may have strengthened its airframe, struts and landing gear to help it withstand high-speed reentry and rough landings.

The ship's green markings are the same as the emblems displayed on his gauntlets.

Behind the Scenes
Kit Fisto's personal starfighter design was used as the promotional image for all Delta-7B starfighters in the computer animated television series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
