Interceptors are space crafts designed specifically to attack other fighters. They are designed to fight long and hard in a dogfight. Heavy fighters are designed to carry quite a bit more equipment at the cost of maneuverability. However, they don't handle quite as sharply as a Light Fighter.

From here, ship performance will also depend on your ship components, your droids (and their commands) and on the skill of the pilot. However, remember however, these ratings are just a starting point to understanding space combat in Star Wars Galaxies. It will also introduce you to terminology commonly used to describe them as well as provide specifics on how each ship handles.
The information below will help provide a basic understanding of the different types of available ships. As a pilot, you will need to know the basics on ship performance, in space flight, how ships handle and the different kinds of competition you will encounter.
