Delta-6 Sprite-class starfighter



The Delta-6 Jedi Starfighter was a short-range light interceptor used by the Jedi Order during the time of the Battle of Naboo. This model evolved from the earliest Jedi starfighter concepts, dating back to the time of the Great Sith War and the Jedi Civil War.

The Delta-6, manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering, was a short-range patrol and reconnaissance interceptor, able to hold one pilot. This model lacked an on-board astromech droid for in-flight navigational assistance. It was armed with twin laser cannons, located on either side of the tapering, delta-shaped nose. These models were painted with a bronze and silver finish.

Prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, Kuat Systems Engineering unveiled the Delta-7 Aethersprite interceptor - the latest craft in the Delta line - thus rendering the Delta-6 obsolete. Any Delta-6 starfighters that survived into the Galactic Civil War would have become the property of Sienar Fleet Systems, when the company brought the entire Delta line from Kuat ten years after the Clone Wars.

A 'Delta-6 Aethersprite' is mentioned in Jedi Quest 5: The School of Fear, though this may be a typographical error in reference to the Delta-7 Aethersprite.
