In the Xi Char Cathedral factories, the relatively cheap, unmanned battle droids, also known as Vulture-class droid fighters, are built in vast quantities. These fighters do not require an organic pilot, which makes better use of the available space and allows manoeuvres that an organic pilot cannot execute. Equipped with twin blaster canons, similar to the TIE interceptor, 2 energy torpedo launchers and a Piestoeka sabotage droid launcher, but without shields and heavy armour, this fighter is the foundation of the Confederate fleet due to its high agility and easy mass production.
