A '''Starfighter''' is a spaceworthy fighter plane.{{book ref|Skyward|prologue}}
 
== Propulsion System==
* boosters provide thrust
Basically, two components allow the starfighter to fly:[[acclivity ring]]s to provide anti-gravitational force and boosters to provide acceleration. While accelerating, the G-force produced can easily crush the pilot, so starfighters are equipped with [[GravCap]]s, which can absorb it to an extent of several seconds.{{clarify}} Whether there is atmosphere makes significant difference in flying techniques. Although starfighters can fly in space, in atmosphere, they have atmospheric scoops to reduce wind resistance and wings to provide extra lift and maneuverability. {{book ref|Slyward}}{{missing gallery|air scoop explanation}}
* wings provide lift
 
* [[acclivity ring]]s provide 3D manoeuvrability
== Weaponry Systems ==
* atmospheric scoops reduce wind resistance
* [[GravCap]]s absorb g-force to enable higher accelerations
* [[shield igniter]]s provide a force-field
* the [[light-lance]] can be used for grappling
