Construction History
First constructed by Buuper Torsckii Abbey Devices to supplement existing space defense corps as a Droid Fighter, the Porax-38 saw extensive use in the Clone Wars and eventually underwent several redesigns to support a sentient pilot. The design was found, and once again modified, by Sienar Fleet Systems. Several prototypes were made, but the design was never extensively marketed due to Sienar's profitable connection with the infamous TIE model of starfighters.
Origins
The personal fighter to Amelia D'Centari, this heavily modified Porax-38 was stolen by the daring Dark Jedi and converted further. Augmented by her technical expertise, the fighter served in nearly killing Drake Rylan before he succeeded in disarming the young woman and bringing her to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Determined to redeem herself, Amelia confined herself voluntarily to the temple and gave the fighter to Rylan as a gift for saving her.

Navigation Capabilities
While SFS installed an adequate navigation computer, the Porax-38 is still highly reliant on an Astromech droid to operate properly.
Modifications
First modified by Amelia D'Centari, this Porax-38 was further augmented by Drake Rylan on Coruscant.
