The NovaDive functioned as a scout for the Galactic Republic and was a type of starfighter. This craft, which was the central element of Corellia StarDrive's line of scout ships, was built with the intention of incorporating cutting-edge reconnaissance, communication, and attack features. This speedy scout could identify enemy ships from a great distance, and it could then deploy a series of rockets against heavily armored targets or engage with its dual laser cannons. Although its agile exterior may have misled some pilots, experienced pilots recognized that the scout's exceptional speed and agility were a crucial compromise.
The NovaDive is one of four Scout ship designs accessible to Republic players in Star Wars: The Old Republic: Galactic Starfighter, a Digital Expansion released in 2013 for the Star Wars: The Old Republic video game. It serves as the offensive-reconnaissance Scout for the Republic faction and is automatically available to players, while the S-12 Blackbolt fills the same role for the Empire.
