Built in the height of the conflict between Jedi and Sith, the Aldar Jedi Knights designed the Starhunters to be superior hunter-killers of Sith starfighters and their pilots. Although non-Force pilots could control the ship, the Starhunter worked best in the hands of a trained Jedi Knight. Equipped with advanced targeting systems and a jammer suite, the Starhunter was a relentless pursuer that tracked down the fastest foes and finished them off with overwhelming firepower.

Despite the effectiveness of the ship, most Aldar decried the aggressive and even cruel nature of the craft, but took to it with resigned need to end the conflict quickly.

The Starhunter's design was very unique in that the engines and weapons move independently from the body. This allowed the pilot to shift their aim or direction near-instantaneously, but it did take some getting used to, and having a nearly 360 degree view meant the pilot had so much to look out for at a time.

Thanks to the high volume of Archonite (sentient crystals) in its build, the starhunters were semi-sentient ships that were biased towards Aldar and individuals or people that the Aldar liked, meaning people like the Sith or people hostile towards the Aldar and their allies would have difficulty or even experienced mortal danger if they tried to commandeer the vehicle.
