One of the losing firms in the drive for the “Generation Tomorrow Starfighter,” the Corellian Engineering Corporation still comes out a winner when its design impresses the Republic Navy. Even though it is not as low-maintenance and high-performance as the Aurek Tactical Strikefighter, the 14-meter-long S-250 Chela-class starfighter incorporates the agility of the earlier S-100 Stinger-class starfighter with improved weapons systems in a new design. It also saves its manufacturer in the process.
Ordered in far fewer numbers than the Aurek Tactical Strikefighter, Chelaclass fighters are preferred vehicles of honor guards and veteran commanders. Their performance is not a step up from the Aurek strikefighters, but some consider their roomier and more comfortable pilot compartments to be more than enough compensation.
