The light droid starfighter was the predecessor of the Vulture-class droid starfighter. It was incapable of walking and, while on the surface, could only move about on repulsor jets. It was intended mostly as a stop-gap design until the Vulture-class could enter service, and its known uses were on the planets Alaris Prime and Naboo. Some were also deployed during the Battle of Aereen, but were mostly destroyed.
