Clone Z-95 starfighter The clone Z-95 starfighter, known more commonly as the Headhunter after its predecessor model, was a variant of the Z-95 Headhunter developed by the Galactic Republic specifically for its clone trooper pilots. It saw widespread use as a starfighter during the Clone Wars.

History
The clone Z-95 starfighter was based on the Z-95 Headhunter, a model that enjoyed a long production run and was continued through numerous variants. The Galactic Republic modified it specifically for use by its clone trooper pilots, who also cross-trained in the Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter, which was similar in controls.

Behind the scenes
The clone Z-95 starfighter first appeared in the episode "Darkness on Umbara." The episode's corresponding guide on StarWars.com initially designated the variant the "Z-85 Headhunter," but this was discovered to be an error and was later changed to read simply "Headhunter." An Encyclopedia entry gave the craft its current designation.
