The Vulture droid, or Variable Geometry
Self-Propelled Battle Droid, was a droid
starfighter used by the Trade Federation, and
later the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Like
most of the Trade Federation's armed forces
it carried no living pilot but rather a droid
brain that was linked to a Droid Control Ship.
Each Trade Federation battleship carried 1,500
droid starfighters. It was designed by Haor Chall
Engineering, which was founded by the fanatical
Xi-Char, a religious order dedicated to
high-precision manufacturing. As a result, it
represented classic Xi-Char design: a compact body
that offered only a small target for enemy
fighters, multiple weapons emplacements, and an
insectoid appearance.
The starfighter carried four blaster cannons and
two proton torpedo launchers and could reach 1,200
km/h in an planet's atmosphere. When not in
flight, the ship could transform into a walking
weapons platform, used for ground patrol and troop
support. A droid starfighter was capable of
maneuvers that would kill an organic pilot, but
they lacked the resourcefulness and cunning of
living pilots. Additionally, they could only
function for 35 minutes before having to be
refueled.
Droid starfighters were launched in overwhelming
numbers and excelled in both atmospheric and space
combat. The droid starfighter's weapon
systems consisted of 4 blaster cannons with two
per wing. These laser cannons have a wide range,
although they were inferior even when compared to
the weapons of the Naboo N-1 Starfighter. In
standard flight format, the drone's wings
were collapsed to conceal its laser cannons. In
combat, these wings split up to reveal these
deadly laser cannons. The laser cannons were
followed by 2 energy torpedo launchers that would
weaken enemy targets before the starfighter
delivered a laser cannon barrage.
