a Droid Tri-Fighter
The Droid Tri-Fighter was a type of advanced droid starfighter used by Separatist forces during the Clone Wars era. The Tri-fighter excelled in dogfights due to its agility and small stature. Tri-Fighters were the most deadly Droid Fighters in the galaxy, so Clone Troopers were worried when they fought them.
Appearance[]
The Tri-Fighter was controlled by a single integrated cybernetic brain housed in the main "ball" portion of the fighter. Surrounding this command portion were three vertical beams each of which was equipped with a blaster cannon. These cannons were mounted on rails allowing them to change positions if needed while acquiring targets. A single large cannon was placed in front of the spherical unit. The fighter's propulsion was handled by three engines in the back which provided superior maneuvering capability.
History[]
Battle of Sullust[]
Droid Tri-Fighters were first seen in action during the Battle of Sullust. Asajj Ventress lead her Droid Tri-Fighter squadron against many Republic starfighters. Ventress later used her Tri-Fighters against the Resolute and it was destroyed. When Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi showed up in their starfighters, Ventress and the Droid Tri-Fighters shot them. Obi-Wan and Anakin split up and went their separate ways. Ventress followed Obi-Wan while the 6 Droid Tri-Fighers followed Anakin. While they were chasing Anakin, they passed a Recusant-class Light Destroyer. 3 of the Droid Tri-Fighters followed Anakin while the other 3 went on the other side of the Recusant. Aankin later on tricked the Droid Tri-Fighters after he saw the other 3 on the other side of the Recusant. Anakin made both Tri-Fighter groups crash into each other as he left to find Obi-Wan and Ventress.
Citadel Rescue[]
Tri-Fighters and Hyena Bombers launched from a Separatist Frigate and attacked the ARC-170s.
