A recent addition to the range of starfighters utilized by the Dar'tome Mando'ade, the Ga'taylir'uliik-class Bes'verd Starfighter is a slightly cheaper and more optimized analog to the older Kyr'gal Type 1 Starfighters. By removing the cockpit entirely and designing the new starfighter from the ground up around the concept of utilizing a droid pilot, the new design is able to be just as cheap, just as easy to manufacture and field, and incorporate the more advanced power distribution technology of Type 2 and 3 Kyr'gal Starfighters. The design lacks a hyperdrive and is deployed en-mass on short range escort and screening missions where these droids rely on speed and numbers to overwhelm their opponents. And thanks to the complex power distribution and propulsion system built into the design, these starfighters can adjust their performance profiles mid-engagement to capitalize on the unique vulnerabilities of their opposition. These adjustments can be made on a per-squadron or per-starfighter level and individual droids can often surprise an enemy pilot that has grown accustomed to the performance profiles of other Bes'verd or Kyr'gal Starfighters.
