Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor/Legends

Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor The Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor was a short-range light starfighter used by the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars.

Characteristics


The Delta-7B was manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering. The main difference between the Delta-7B and its predecessor, the Delta-7, was an enlarged center hull that allowed for an astromech droid station in front of the cockpit, rather than to the side of the cockpit. The Delta-7B possessed the same amount of laser cannons as the Delta-7. Plo Koon also flew a Delta-7B with the same color scheme as his later Delta-7. Ahsoka Tano used a red and white Delta-7B, while Anakin Skywalker flew at least one yellow and gray Delta-7B that was damaged during the Battle of Bothawui and later recovered. Obi-Wan Kenobi flew one with a very similar color scheme to his previous Delta-7 and with the same droid, R4-P17. Kit Fisto flew a maroon, white, and light green starfighter to Vassek.

Behind the scenes
Hasbro originally identified this fighter as a "Delta-2," but The Clone Wars: The Visual Guide provided the Delta-7B designation.

The Hasbro toy version can split in two parts, with the piloted section heavily resembling the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor.
