A variant of the new and popular Scorpio fighter, the 44c5 is designed for space combat after being launched either from planetary bases or from hyperspace capable carrier craft. By sacrificing the hyperdrive, the 44c5 becomes a much more capable combat craft, and this variant is often sold to organizations with the resources to transport them from place to place, or with no need for interstellar capabilities for their fighters.

The hyperdrive is replaced with a pair of maneuvering thrusters and a fin, which take up a good deal less internal space than the drive. That space, as well as the area for the astromech slot, is used for the Proton torpedo launcher, and for torpedo storage.

Variations of the 44c5 include models with a quadlaser turret rather than a missile launcher and thrusters, and those that sacrifice most of their sensory arrays for superior targeting computers. As with all forms of the Scorpio, the 44c5 is easily modifiable and uses components easily replaced by New Republic and Imperial counterparts.
