VLS-18 Skypiercer JediStarfighter
After establishing his New Jedi Order, Luke Skywalker realised that for his knights to be effective in their peace-seeking, they would need a fleet able to support them and enable them to access the far reaches of the galaxy. Although during the time of the Galactic Republic the Jedi contracted Kuat Drive Yards to design and deliver their starfighters, they also designed the AT-AT and numerous other instruments of the Imperial war machine, leaving Luke to seek another manufacturer. Initially looking to Incom, who at the time were already burdened with the construction of X-Wings and the like to support the growing Republic, Luke took his request to Veridian Light Systems, a specialist company dedicated to the design and construction of light starfighters and interceptors. Taking inspiration from Alliance starfighters Luke had experience with such as the X-Wing and Headhunter, the VLS-18 design was finalised and began rolling off the production line. After several months with the Order the type was proven to exceed the Jedis' expectations, even proving itself in fighter-to-fighter combat on one occasion. The satisfaction of the Jedi with the ship led to it remaining in service for over a decade within the order, and saw the growth of the Jedi's influence once again through the galaxy.
Congrats to @rad.dude.bad.tude.og for winning the naming contest I put up on my instagram story, the name of the starfighter is now officially the VLS-18 Skypiercer!!
