Scarab-class droid starfighter

The Scarab-class starfighter was a predecessor of the Vulture-class droid fighter, and shared some of its designs and parts.

The multiple-purpose fighter could attack targets in space and air, as well as on the ground, and for a time served as the Trade Federation´s main starfighter.

The first XS.000 series fighters were designed to be flown by an organic pilot, but over the years experiments with droid pilots and computers were made, leading up to the XS.009-series, which could be flown by both organics and droids. Even though they lacked the agility of the later Vulture droids, the Scarabs´ shields and more powerful armor made them still relevant on the battlefield during the Battle of Naboo.
