The torpedo launchers could be loaded with other types of ordnance as needed. Unlike the concussion missile weaponry of its forerunner model, the Z-95 starfighter was equipped with more powerful, recessed torpedo launchers to supplement its laser power. A laser cannon was positioned on each angular wingtip, leading to a wingspan of 18.13 meters. The starfighter's two engine units, a reduction from the Headhunter's original four, were mounted on double wings and required regular maintenance. The cockpit's features included a targeting computer. It had a similar piloting control system as another Incom/Subpro product, the ARC-170 starfighter.

Its sleek design facilitated maneuverability and agility, with a long nose extending from its single- pilot cockpit.

At 16.74 meters in length, it slightly surpassed its predecessor model, which was 11.8 meters long. The targeting computer of a Z-95 starfighterĭeveloped from the Z-95 Headhunter product line by Incom/ Subpro Corporation, the clone Z-95 starfighter was manufactured during the regime of the Galactic Republic, specifically tailored for use by the clone trooper pilots of the Republic Navy. " Argh! I'm catching too much heat!" ―Warthog, maneuvering to avoid enemy fire in his Z-95 starfighter Though Incom went on to produce further Z-95 variants, the clone starfighter was phased out after the Republic became the Galactic Empire, which favored Sienar Fleet Systems' new TIE Series. Z-95 starfighters were also stationed at important Republic facilities like Coruscant's Republic military base and Kamino's clone military education complex. Squadrons of Z-95 starfighters saw widespread use as part of fleets commanded by such Jedi Generals as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. A number of clone trooper pilots such as Warthog and Hawk became adept in piloting the Z-95 in addition to other Republic combat craft. The Republic Navy employed the Z-95 starfighter in several capacities, including escort and starfighter combat against enemy forces from the Navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, particularly at the lengthy Battle of Umbara. The model was specifically customized for the clone trooper pilots of the Republic Navy, who often cross-trained in the Z-95 and another Incom/Subpro product, the heavy-duty ARC-170 starfighter, due to the similarity of both starships' flight controls. It was equipped with recessed torpedo launchers and a pair of wingtip laser cannons, and its shielding allowed it to endure much damage, though it lacked a hyperdrive.

A variant of the popular Z-95 Headhunter, the clone Z-95 starfighter boasted speed and maneuverability on account of its sleek design. The clone Z-95 starfighter, known more commonly as the clone Z-95 Headhunter or the Headhunter starfighter after its predecessor model, was a single-seater starfighter developed by Incom and Subpro Corporations for the Galactic Republic's clone trooper pilots during the Clone Wars.
