The IRD starfighters, short for Intercept * Reconnaissance * Defense, was a swift and heavily armed starfighter used by the Corporate Sector's Picket Fleet.

The IRD featured powerful engines, twin laser cannons, and the best pilot ejection mechanism of any contemporary fighter, but lacked a hyperdrive. As a result, the Authority IRD had to be transported by larger vessels such as the Marauder-class corvette or the Victory-class Star Destroyer.
