The ACS-303 Series is an update from the old CS/TX series made by Baktoid. The CS/TX series had been the CIS and later the ACA's primire model of droid fighter. Versatile, cheap, and they come in packs. The ACS-303 series works on the same basic principles with some basic Technological updates and weapon upgrades. They are semi-intelligent, similar to a Vulture droid in combat abilities, most effective in packs against fighters, nearly useless against capital ships due to their very light armament.
The ASC-303 Mk1, or Locust-class Droid Interceptor is simple, small, maneuverable, quick, and moderately armed. It's fuel cells are small and compact, not allowing for long term flights or engagements without resupplying, only having about two hours of flight time, less when making the complex, high speed maneuvers in combat. Furthermore it lacks a hyperdrive, requiring them to be stationed on a planet or orbital station or be carried into combat by a carrier ship.
It features faster, more efficient engines and thrusters, making it superior to the Hornet-class in regards to speed and maneuverability, but its shields are slightly reduced, and it has had its weapons reduced in size and power as well in order to fit everything into the small droid fighter. For offense it features a pair of Repeating Blaster Cannons. Smaller and less powerful than Laser cannons, they attempt to make up for this with rate of fire. More bolts in the void means more inevitable hits was the mindset behind them. It also features a pair of Nano Missile Launchers with very small dual missile magazines, really only useful against small starfighters and interceptors.
