[edit] Characteristics
The Delta-7B was manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering. The main difference between the Delta-7B and its predecessor, the Delta-7, was an enlarged center hull that allowed for an astromech droid station in front of the cockpit, rather than to the side of the cockpit. The relocation of the droid station allowed for the use of self-contained astromech droids, instead of the integrated ones used on the normal Delta-7. The Delta-7B possessed the same number of laser cannons as the Delta-7. Plo Koon also flew a Delta-7B with the same color scheme as his later Delta-7. Ahsoka Tano used a red, green, and white Delta-7B, while Anakin Skywalker flew at least one yellow and gray Delta-7B that was damaged during the Battle of Bothawui and later recovered. Obi-Wan Kenobi flew one with a very similar color scheme to his previous Delta-7 and with the same droid, R4-P17. Kit Fisto flew a maroon starfighter with a light green emblem on the hull. Luminara Unduli's Delta-7B had a green and gray color scheme.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Hasbro originally identified this fighter as a "Delta-2,"[3] but The Clone Wars: The Visual Guide provided the Delta-7B designation.
The Hasbro toy version can split in two parts, with the piloted section heavily resembling the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor.
