Flight computer

A flight computer was a type of computer used aboard starships, whose primary purpose was translation of the movement of the controls into adjustments to the direction of the ship's thrust. Flight computers could also store information, such as ship schematics and language information, or run programs off datachips, such as flight simulations. The company Torplex manufactured sophisticated flight computers which were used aboard the First Order TIE/fo and TIE/sfs, as well as an experimental one for Elrik Vonreg's TIE/ba Baron Space Superiority Interceptor. When Tam Ryvora was fixing a racing starfighter, her Aurebesh list of parts included "wiring for the flight computer". When Kazuda Xiono was impersonating a First Order technician aboard the Titan, he carried a datapad listing open work orders. The seventh point on the list, which was written in Aurebesh, read "install flight computer".
