Cord-class starfighter/Legends

The Cord-class Starfighter was the prototype to Slayn & Korpil's V-19 Torrent starfighter. The Cord-class Starfighter was the fist starfighter used by the Galactic Republic during the three-year long Clone Wars. The Cord-class fighter was armed with a laser cannon and was often carried aboard Acclamator-class Assault Ships for their lack of a hyperdrive. After a battle, the starfighters were serviced by repair droids or the Clone Pilots themselves. The Cord-class was rendered obselete by the V-19 Torrent starfighter, which in turn was also rendered obsolte by the ARC-170 starfighter.

The young Boba Fett once went up against a squadron of these fighters in Bespin following his father's death in Geonosis. Boba Fett first set his eyes on these starfighters in the hangar bays of the Acclamator ship Candaserri- which was ferrying refugees to a save haven on Bespin. The Slave I, then in the hands of Aurra Sing, followed the Candaserri to Bespin. Boba was able to board one such fighter though 8 Cord-class starfighters pursued him. Boba was able to lose them in one of Bespin's deadly gas storms, before heading into space to reclaim the Slave I.
