Dianoga-class assault starfighter

The Dianoga was a starfighter engineered by Koensayr, later to be known for producing the Y-wing.

Created in the waning days of the Old Republic, the Dianoga was a bulky starfighter, extraordinarily overpowered for a peacetime vessel. However, growing chaos in the Republic ensured that few questioned the purpose of such a powerful fighter.

The Dianoga soon became popular with pirates and mercenaries, as it was comparatively cheap and easy to obtain in comparison to military-grade fighters. This would soon result, after the end of the Clone Wars in the Dianoga being rarely seen outside of said outlaws.
