DESCRIPTION​

The CX-133 Chaos starfighter is an antique snubfighter originally manufactured by the Koros Spaceworks corporation. A relic of the ancient Sith, the type first appeared millennia ago during the Sith War, where its main adversary was the Republic's S-100 Stinger.

The CX-133 Chaos, commonly known as the "Chaos Fighter", was in many ways a conceptual predecessor to the modern TIE fighter. Carried primarily aboard Sith capital ships, Chaos Fighters were short-range, lightly built craft, consisting of a roughly triangular fuselage, 3 large drive pods mounted at the rear, and a pair of wide, upward-swept wings. The type was almost devoid of safety equipment, with no armor, deflector shields or even an ejection seat for the pilot, although an escape repulsorchute was sometimes issued to officers. The type's main advantage was its top speed of 105 MGLT, slightly faster than most of its contemporaries, as well as its - for the time - heavy armament of 6 medium blaster cannons, arrayed along the wings.

Notably, Chaos Fighters ran on a highly volatile rhydonium mix, carried in non-self-sealing fuel tanks. Even relatively minor damage to the fuel system would cause a CX-133 to catch fire and explode, a fact which some more ruthless Sith commanders would exploit, ordering their pilots to perform suicide ramming attacks against enemy capital ships and fortifications.

Chaos Fighters served in various Sith fleets and armies through the early Mandalorian Crusades, becoming a symbol of evil known across the Galaxy. They were gradually supplanted by more modern types in the centuries leading up to the supposed final defeat of the Sith. In the modern day, very few functional examples are known to exist, occupying private collections and the lowest garbage strata of some junkyard worlds.

LEGALITY​
