{Geonosian Fighter}
Manufacturer: Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective
Model: Nantex-class
Dimensions: Length: 9.8m (32ft-2in Width: 1.9m (6ft-3in Height (excluding cockpit bubble): 2.2m (7ft-3in)
Crew: 1 pilot (bonded to specific fighter)
Weapons: 1 laser cannon turret, 100 independently aiming narrow-beam tractor / repulsor projectors
Affiliation: Separatists
Other Notes: An advanced scent stimulator in the pilot's mask exploits the acute Geonosian sense of smell to convey flight status feedback. The mask also sprays subverbal pheromone signals so that air marshals modify the pilot's mood and impart collective priorities.
The Geonosians raise a caste of living combat pilots in immense cob-shaped air-defense hives. Pilots can potentially spend years poised for action, as their hardy species requires no sleep. In training, each pilot pupa pairs with a fighter's flight computer, and they develop an idiosyncratic, coordination-enhancing rapport.
