The Authority IRD, short for Intercept * Reconnaissance * Defense, was a swift and heavily armed starfighter used primarily by the Corporate Sector's Picket Fleet. The IRD featured powerful engines, twin laser cannons, and the best pilot ejection mechanism of any contemporary fighter, but lacked a hyperdrive. As a result, the Authority IRD had to be transported by larger vessels such as the Marauder-class corvette or the Victory-class Star Destroyer.

As a result, the IRD has to be transported by larger vessels such as the Marauder-class Corvette or the Victory-class Star Destroyer. The Corporate Sector Authority designed the IRD for the various missions of the Picket Fleet. Early IRD models were not aerodynamic and performed so badly in atmospheric combat that many pilots refused to engage targets there; this led to the development of the IRD-A Fighter, which addressed these issues. With the success of the IRD-A, the original IRD has been all but phased out.
