Starfighter

It's a jet fighter . . . in space. Indeed, this is how science fiction works. Take a common household item, like, say, a toaster, or a belt.. Now, add a suitable science fiction prefix--"space," "star," and "laser" being the most common--and presto! You now have a "space toaster" or a "laser belt." This is science fiction. To make your new term more spacetastic, combine the two words into one, as Star Wars did with starfighter.
