The Hornet close-in weapon system platform was an automated point-defense drone used by the United Coalition of Worlds in the later stages of the Cruentusian War. It was designed by Corellian Shipyards, and featured a simplistic droid brain (although it was advanced for the age) allowing it travel at much faster rates than conventional piloted starfighters. As the Hornets were mainly used for point-defense and were not equipped with heavy armor, this edge in speed was its only defense. However, this defense was greatly reduced when using its main armament.

abstract
  • The Hornet close-in weapon system platform was an automated point-defense drone used by the United Coalition of Worlds in the later stages of the Cruentusian War. It was designed by Corellian Shipyards, and featured a simplistic droid brain (although it was advanced for the age) allowing it travel at much faster rates than conventional piloted starfighters. As the Hornets were mainly used for point-defense and were not equipped with heavy armor, this edge in speed was its only defense. However, this defense was greatly reduced when using its main armament. The Hornet, along with the alternate Hornet automated missile platform, eventually became obsolete due to a rising cost in its production, and were replaced with the Hornet-M automated fighter drone.
