Automated vulture droid deployment station/Legends



These pods were used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to deploy Vulture droids during the Clone Wars.

Characteristics
They would be left in stationary orbit around a planet and deploy their droid starfighter when starships approached. They were equipped with six of the Separatist fighters.

History
During the Clone Wars, after destroying the Felucia Medical Center, the Separatists left at least one deployment pod in orbit around Felucia. When Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano arrived in-system to verify the status of the Republic medical station, they triggered the pod which dispatched it's payload of six Vulture droids which succeeded in damaging the Jedi's T-6 shuttle causing it to crash on the planet's surface.
