A Deathstalker-class fighter, a swift and highly maneuverable vessel, boasted substantial armaments and was first deployed by the forces of the Despot Queen Hadiya. Similar to the Je'daii Hunter-class starfighter, the Deathstalker possessed the capability to operate effectively in the vacuum of space as well as within atmospheric environments. The victor in a dogfight between a Deathstalker and a Hunter was determined by the relative expertise of the individuals piloting each craft.
