Grand Marshal fanonical craft

</td>

The Republic Strike Fighter was developed by Koensayr towards the end of the Galactic Civil War. It was an attempt to create a small fighter capable of hyperdrive. The result was a success built on several earlier designs, namely the Naboo Flash speeder and the Y-wing. The speed of the craft ranged between normal snubfighter and interceptor speeds.

This enabled it to be an all-purpose light starfighter, as opposed to the sprawling X-wing. However, the parts of the RSF Mark I used many parts that had functions in many of the other mainstream Rebel starfighters. While the developers believed this would be a major plus, the Alliance leaders decided it would be more safe to invest in tried and tested starfighters, and production was incredibly slow.

It all changed in 5 ABY, when Alliance SpecForces raided a Sienar Flight Systems factory. Koensayr was quick to loot the factory, and the RSF was quickly converted into a SFS engine-driven strike fighter. From this point on, the RSF became a mainstay of most fighter wings of the New Republic.

It is featured as a Jedi Strike fighter in the cartoon drama Grand Marshal Trilogy: The Remnant Threat, and is flown exclusively by the members of the fledgling New Jedi Order. This changes during Wrath of the Marshal, where more Rebel pilots take to the new craft.

In its appearances, it easily takes on TIE Assaulters in speed, and is a worthy challenger to the TIE interceptors seen frequently in the maleovent Grand Marshal's fleet. It eventually becomes a venerable fighter and plays an essential part in the downfall of the Marshal.
