- "I believe those are robotic combat craft. Powered and operated by artificial intelligences called droids."
- ―Senior Captain Thrawn upon seeing droid starfighters

A vulture droid starfighter
Droid starfighters were a type of automated starfighter that were droids themselves instead of needing a living pilot or even a droid. They were used prior to and during the Clone Wars, having the great advantage that if the ship was destroyed lives would be spared. There were several types of droid starfighters like Hyena-class droid bombers, vulture droid starfighters, and droid tri-fighters.
