The S-250 Chela-class starfighter was a craft used by the Republic fleet at many battles, including the Battle of Rakata Prime in 3,956 BBY.[2] Though a loser in the "Generation Tomorrow Starfighter" competition, it was still purchased in small numbers by the Republic.

[edit] Characteristics
These starfighters were armed with twin laser cannons and missile launchers, and flew alongside the more nimble Aurek tactical strikefighters in some battles.[2] Ships of this type were seen leading Republic starfighter squadrons into battle, and often were flown by higher-ranking pilots and squad leaders.
[edit] Behind the scenes
This ship bears an uncanny resemblance to the later Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft and B-wing starfighters, though whether this is coincidental or not remains unconfirmed.
