Starfighter Trap (Commander)
Canon Linked from 3 articles
A Starfighter Trap was a type of Starship Trap utilized by both the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire to defend their territory on planets like Tatooine. These circular devices serve as a proximity sensor when initially set, switching to a homing beacon once their sensor has been tripped. Standard faction starfighters were then called to bombard the area surrounding the trap with laser fire for a short period of time, decimating enemies. Starfighter Traps also featured a holoprojector, displaying the type of starship they would call in, with Alliance traps contacting T-65B X-wing starfighters while Imperial traps contacted TIE/ln space superiority starfighters.
