Based upon the TIE Droid, the Swarm-class Droid Fighter was an advanced version with a different configuration, having a single overhead solar panel and two smaller panels on the sides. It was relatively cheap, had a small target profile, and could be churned out in huge numbers. In addition, it was faster and more manoeuvrable than the TIE Interceptor, mainly because the designers did not need to consider the livelihood of a living pilot. The encryption of the droid brain and of the link between the fighters was made by the best and brightest slicers in the galaxy, and was impossible to break.

abstract
| - Based upon the TIE Droid, the Swarm-class Droid Fighter was an advanced version with a different configuration, having a single overhead solar panel and two smaller panels on the sides. It was relatively cheap, had a small target profile, and could be churned out in huge numbers. In addition, it was faster and more manoeuvrable than the TIE Interceptor, mainly because the designers did not need to consider the livelihood of a living pilot. The Swarm-class was equipped with shields, and had a specially-designed A.I. Not only was the A.I. programmed with every known fighter manoeuvre and tactic, as well as extensive records of past battles, but it was also able to learn from its mistakes and improvise. More-over, every Swarm-class was linked to the others, enabling all to learn from the mistakes of one. This made a squadron of them extremely dangerous. The encryption of the droid brain and of the link between the fighters was made by the best and brightest slicers in the galaxy, and was impossible to break.
