Legend

this starfighter was manufactured by the Kaminoan people to protect their cities and the cloning technologies developed within them. Resembling an inverted teardrop, the KE-8 measured thirteen meters in height but just four meters in length. It was capable of flight within Kamino's atmopshere as well as orbital space, but lacked a hyperdrive and laser weapons. Instead, the KE-8 was armed with an electroshock stun device. Powerful manipulator arms allowed the KE-8 to also serve as a labor vehicle, capable of carrying many times the vessel's own weight. The KE-8 was a highly maneuverable craft, with excellent repulsors and throttle controls. Most of these ships were used during the production of the clone troopers for the Army of the Republic, leading up to and during the Clone Wars. Each ship required a pilot to operate, and could accommodate another crewman to handle the manipulator arms. The KE-8 Enforcer patrolled the training grounds established for the clones, and bodily removed any clone that didn't meet the Kaminoans' rigid expectations.
