Mankvim-814 light interceptor

Mankvim-814 light interceptor The Mankvim-814 light interceptor, also known as the Techno Union starfighter, was a starfighter used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems near the close of the Clone Wars.

The Mankvim-814 was a bulbous, oval-shaped, short-range fighter created by the Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies on behalf of the Techno Union on the planet Utapau.

The Techno Union built these tiny, short-ranged starfighters on the planet from local materials. They were hastily constructed in the ancient Grand Halls without any regard for Utapau's architectural heritage. The simple construction consisted largely of a reactor feeding power to a high-velocity ion drive. A magnetized rudder tilted the ion flow for off-axis thrust, while side thrusters aided roll and yaw adjustments.

The interceptor was armed with twin rapid-fire laser cannons and durable deflector shields for combat. The Mankvim-814 light interceptor seated one pilot. The interceptor's aerodynamic wings, fitted with repulsorlifts, aided with overall maneuverability.
