Characteristics
Multiple views of a Mechanized Assault Flyer
The Mechanized Assault Flyer was used for several purposes, including close-range bombardment and aerial reconnaissance. It was equipped with two beam cannons and a rear swiveling laser cannon that spun around the large disc-like posterior of the ship,[1] as well as two more laser cannons in side-pods.[2] The MAF had one pilot, a co-pilot, and a gunner for the turret. It was 18.2 meters long and could reach speeds of up to 820 kilometers per hour.[1]
History
The MAF was produced by Haor Chall Engineering,[1] and was the predecessor to the similarly shaped Heavy Missile Platform which was manufactured by Baktoid Fleet Ordnance later in the Clone Wars.[3] The MAF was used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[2]
Behind the scenes
The MAF appears in the 2004 video game Star Wars: Battlefront during certain multiplayer matches and on certain maps (including Bespin and Kashyyyk).
