It also typically depended on other spacecraft or an external hyperdrive ring for faster-than-light travel. Also like the Delta-7, the Delta-7B had 4 twin laser-cannons (2 above the "triangular"-shaped hull, and 2 right below the "upper" cannons, on the underside of the hull). This, along with a slightly-enlarged center- hull, would allow for a full-size astromech droid to be used instead of the truncated units -such as the R4-P or the R3-D-seen in the earlier-model Delta-7. The main difference between the Delta-7B and its predecessor the Delta-7, was a relocation of the astromech socket from the port (left) side of the starfighter, to just in front of the cockpit. The Delta-7B was manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering, and initially saw use as Delta-7's were lost in battle. Plo Koon's Blade of Dorin docked with a Syliure-31 hyperdrive ring.
