Discord missiles were jet-powered missiles carried by droid tri-fighters, vulture droids,[1] and droid gunships[2] that contained up to seven Pistoeka sabotage droids. Once fired, they dodged their way through enemy defenses with maneuvering thrusters until they reached their target and hatched open, releasing a swarm of buzz droids that used their mechanical arms and cutting tools to dismantle enemy ships and droids and inflict as much damage as possible.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Discord missiles first appeared in the 2005 prequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.[3] They were later first identified in the 2015 reference book Ultimate Star Wars, published by Dorling Kindersley.[1]
