The Gand starfighter represents a significant alteration of the TIE Bomber, employed by the Gand species.
Numerous alterations were implemented, such as the exchange of the bomb delivery mechanism in the secondary hull with a concussion missile launcher supplied by a magazine holding six missiles. Furthermore, a hyperdrive motivator, a navigation computer, and deflector shield generators were incorporated. The offensive capabilities were enhanced by the addition of two laser cannons. The Quadanium solar panels, positioned on each side, were reshaped to mirror those of a TIE/IN interceptor, featuring a central gap that significantly improved the pilot's peripheral vision.
During the Bacta War, a group of Gand ruetsavii piloted these starfighters in conjunction with former members of Rogue Squadron and a squadron of Chir'daki. Their primary mission was to monitor Ooryl Qrygg, assessing his suitability for janwuine-jika. Despite their unconventional design, these vehicles proved to be highly effective throughout the war, successfully shooting down numerous TIE fighters and supporting Wedge Antilles' troops in various ground-attack operations.
