The workhorse of the Republic Navy, the ARC-170 is one of the most widely deployed fighter crafts of the Clone Wars. Fast and well-armed enough to take on multiple Trade Federation fighter crafts, but heavily-armored enough to deliver ordnance against enemy capital ships, this fighter is an ideal all-purpose war machine. In addition to formidable offensive capabilities, the ARC-170 is outfitted with a highly advanced long-range sensor suite and a substantial hyperspace drive, making it as valuable a reconnaissance platform as it is an assault fighter. As many battles are won by the Republic due to the information delivered by a single ARC-170 serving as advance scout as by ten squadrons of starfighters annihilating separatist forces.
