MANTA DROID SUBFIGHTER



"These droids swim and fight like a school of reaver garhai. Let's see the Maramere sea pirates laugh at me now!" ―Council Member Nute Gunray

The manta droid subfighter was an aquatic droid fighter craft used by the NZRE Empire and developed by NZRE Combat Industries. The sleek torpedo-like droid body was capped in front of a large wedge-shaped diving plane. The forward edge of the plane had an electromotive field, that when merged with repulsorlift-driven super cavitation vectrals incorporated into the subfighter's design, resulted in a very fast and surprisingly maneuverable underwater vessel. The twin barrels recessed in the plane sport laser cannons or torpedo launchers, and a few models even featured articulated barrel assemblies that allow both types of weapons on the same fighter. Manta droids were based on the design of the Vulture Droid Starfighter.
