Delta-6 system defense starfighter

The Delta-6 system defense starfighter was a model of venerable starfighter with aerospace superiority capabilities. It had a long, narrow, arrowhead-shaped fuselage with two light laser cannons mounted forward and a small, cramped, bubble-canopied cockpit mounted far aft over the engine.

Kuat Systems Engineering's Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor was descended from the Delta-6, but was larger and longer, with more powerful and higher-output engines, more responsive controls for greater agility, a more powerful combat avionics suite, and improved targeting and life support systems compared to the older starship.

Behind the scenes
The Delta-6 system defense starfighter was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in Rise of the Separatists, a 2019 supplement to Fantasy Flight Games' series of Star Wars roleplaying products. It was originally created for the Star Wars Legends continuity, where the it first appeared in the 2002 novel Star Wars Adventures 3: The Hostage Princess, which was written by Ryder Windham.
