The Mon Calamari fighter represented a specific type of starfighter manufactured by the Mon Calamari. These fighters saw action during the New Republic Era within the context of the war that unfolded between the First Order and the Resistance. In the course of a Resistance mission to Mon Cala, General Nossor Ri employed one of these starfighters as a diversionary tactic against the First Order. This action enabled the Mon Cala fleet to successfully depart from the planet and, following a short engagement, to flee the Mon Calamari system. The starfighter's configuration included a minimum of one pilot to operate it, equipping it with a minimum of two laser cannons for offensive capabilities and at least one engine for propulsion.
