The Aurek-class fighter was also a fighter from the Sith Wars one or two thousand years ago. Though it was only a 9.2-meter-long triangular light fighter, it was equipped with Proton Torpedoes and counted as a multirole combat aircraft. During the Sith Wars, it had been a mainstay model of the Galactic Republic.
Although it was much more outdated by modern standards, considering that the Galactic Republic had neglected its military preparations for over a thousand years, its backwardness was not as absurd as a gap of over a millennium might suggest.
