The fighters were produced by the thousands over the decades prior to the Clone Wars. As such a Pilot had to rely on his own skill (and in no small part the quality of his space suit) in order to survive a battle. However, it lacked a life support system, or inertial dampeners, this dramatically increased the risk of the pilot suffering the effect of extreme G-Forces when quickly accelerating or turning.
The fighter was small, fast, maneuverable, had powerful weaponry, and was relatively cheap and easy to obtain. The Dagger was armed with three laser cannons which were located on the hull, next to where the wings connected. The wings were pointed and knife-like in appearance, During flight, the whole craft would rotate around the cockpit.
The Dagger starfighter had a triple wing design.
