Droid tri-fighter

"They're all over me! Get them off my&mdash;"

- A clone trooper pilot during the Battle of Coruscant, being chased by a droid tri-fighter

A droid tri-fighter, also known simply as a tri-fighter, was a pilotless droid starfighter utilized by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.

Five years after the conclusion of the Clone Wars, tri-fighters could still be seen harassing the nascent Galactic Empire under the command of dissidents, with one such cell being led by former Republic Intelligence official Berch Teller.

Characteristics
A standard tri-fighter measured 5.4 meters in length, making it the smallest ship in both the Separatist and Republic navies. A space-faring relative of the Trade Federation's dreaded droideka, the tri-fighter was developed for intense dogfighting and close-range space battles. Unlike Vulture-class starfighters, the tri-fighter featured more advanced brains than standard Separatist droid fighters, and were armed with four laser canons and buzz droid missiles. The fighter's three-armed design mimicked the skull of a ferocious predator native to Colla IV.
