The StarViper was equipped with dual laser cannons of medium destructive power, and unlike other starfighters, it was short in length but tall, lacking a fuselage. It had decent armor and was fairly quick, but was expensive, which meant that it was not deployed in large squadrons. The StarViper was also able to release buzz droids | Buzz DroidDroid | that would harm nearby craft.The StarViper Mk.
