Starfighter

A starfighter is a type of small, military spacecraft designed for space combat. Unlike larger capital ships, starfighters are agile and equipped with weapons and defensive systems, allowing them to engage in dogfights against enemy ships or support larger fleets. They often serve specific roles, such as intercepting bombers, engaging enemy fighters, or performing reconnaissance missions. In popular culture, starfighters are often depicted in science fiction, showcasing advanced technology and exciting space battles, as seen in movies and video games. Their designs and capabilities vary, reflecting the creativity of their fictional universes.
