The mechanized assault flyer was an aerial vehicle that predated the HMP droid gunship,[1] which saw its debut with the Confederacy of Independent Systems in 20 BBY[2] during the Clone Wars against the Galactic Republic. Operated by a crew, the assault flyer was similar in shape and size to the droid gunship, and consisted of a large, heavily armored, saucer-shaped body.[1]
