Although General Grievous, Commander-in-Chief of the droid armies, prefers direct combat, he flies a battle-scarred starfighter that was made by the firm Feethan Ottraw Scalable. As it was designed for living pilots, this ship equipped with a Class 6 Hyperdrive has a life support system, is large sized and is of a more robust construction than other droid fighters. Due to its ion drive, this fast, strong ship has the capability to keep pace with the MagnaGuard fighters. The manoeuvrable engines needed for its high agility are built into the wings. The rapid firing laser cannons provide really destructive fire power. General Grievous uses the ship to travel to his lair on the Vassek moon where he can obtain repairs to damage suffered during battle. Formerly a decorated Kaleesh warlord, he underwent cyborg enhancements so he could better fight the Jedi.
The starfighter built by the Kuat Systems Engineering Works impresses on account of its outstanding versatility and manoeuvrability, resulting also from its small-scale dimensions. However, the manageable size comes at a cost, namely the lack of hyperspace travel capability. For interstellar flights the pilot must therefore fall back on external aids. Its styling simplifies the design and maintenance of the protective shield. What's more the large dome provides the advantage of all-round visibility. The starfighter is equipped with four laser cannons but these are only used for defensive purposes since the Jedi are committed to solving conflicts and not to armed combat. The dark red markings, as seen on Obi-Wan's starfighter, indicate that this is a personal starship as well as symbolize the generally universally recognized diplomatic status of the Jedi.
