S-250 Chela-class Starfighter
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, Chela-class 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.
