A Starfighter is a spaceworthy fighter plane.[1]
Propulsion System
Basically, two components allow the starfighter to fly:acclivity rings 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 GravCaps, which can absorb it to an extent of several seconds.[clarification needed] 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. [2]

Weaponry Systems
- shield igniters provide a force-field
- the light-lance can be used for grappling
- IMP can disable enemy shields
- destructors are an energy beam weapon
A number of different starfighters are in production by the machines of Igneous Cavern:
