Techno Union starfighter
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Techno Union starfighter (Mankvim-814 interceptor) is a fictional starship used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
The Mankvim-814 light interceptor is a bulbous, oval-shaped short-range starfighter created by the Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies on behalf of the Techno Union on Utapau. The simple construction consists largely of a reactor feeding power to a high-velocity ion drive. Rudders and side thrusters control ion flow, roll and yaw in flight. The interceptor is armed with twin rapid-fire laser cannons and durable deflector shields. The Mankvim seats one pilot.
In Revenge of the Sith, Techno Union interceptors rush to defend the Separatist stronghold on the Tenth Level of Pau City during Obi-Wan Kenobi's assault on General Grievous' forces. Mankvim pilots face sturdy Porax-38 Utapaun starfighters in battle over the sinkhole city.
