The D-type fighter represents a unique starfighter design, constructed and operated solely by the Yevetha, a non-human species native to the Koornacht Cluster.
Due to the Yevethans superior tolerance for g-forces and advanced inertial dampening systems, the D-type exhibited enhanced acceleration and maneuverability compared to most starfighters of Human origin. While highly effective within planetary atmospheres, its armament lacked the capacity to penetrate the shields of capital ships.
This fighter model was extensively deployed throughout the Black Fleet Crisis, both in engagements against other populations within the Koornacht Cluster during the Yevethan Purge, and in conflicts with the forces of the New Republic. Given their inability to damage capital ships, D-type fighters were relegated to kamikaze attack roles targeting New Republic warships during the concluding phases of the Battle of N'zoth.
