Legend

this small, two-person fighter craft was developed by the Techno Union and manufactured by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies during the height of the Clone Wars, to address the need for planetary security on those planets that were subjugated by the Separatists. Two weapon mounts were located on the nose of the craft, and could be equipped with law enforcement blasters or medium laser cannons, depending on the environment. The 10.7-meter-long Mankvim-814 required just a single pilot to operate, and was limited to in-system engagements due to its lack of a hyperdrive. Unlike previous droid starfighters that employed dedicated droid brains, the Mankvim-814 Interceptor was produced to accommodate a B1-series battle droid as its pilot. The Techno Union produced these bird-shaped ships on Utapau after subjugating the planet's Grand Halls, forcing the natives to mass-produce these craft in short order.
