The Gand Starfighter was a heavily modified TIE Bomber that was used by the Gand species. Among the many modifications included having the bomb delivery system in the secondary hull replaced with a concussion missiles launching system fed by a six-missile magazine, a hyperdrive motivator, a navigational computer, and deflector shield generators were added. Two lasers completed their offensive systems while the Quadanium solar panels on either side were cut out to resemble those on a TIE/In interceptor, with a central cutout to provide the pilot with vastly improved peripheral vision.
A trio of Gand ruetsavii flew these starfighters alongside the ex-members of Rogue Squadron during the Bacta War, specifically to keep an eye on Ooryl Qyrgg, who was being observed for his worthiness to undergo janwuine-jika. Throughout the conflict these craft proved very useful despite their ungainly appearance; they downed their share of TIEs and aided Wedge Antilles' forces on a number of ground-attack missions.
