[Star Wars d20] Saga Edition: Between a Droid and a Vehicle and a Ship

First Post
I'm trying to figure out how to build the Vulture droid starfighters from scratch within the rules. The problem is that the rules for building starships, those for building droids, and those for building vehicles don't seem to connect.
In the latter case, I can't even find rules for building or modifying ground vehicles.
In the foremost case, SotG fails to list the included parts in any listed vehicle, making retrofitting/downgrading impossible. And in the middle, I can find neither rules for passengers in/on droids, nor simply those for giving it Starship scale speed.
I think that last one might be the easiest way to go about it, and technically a droid could buy giant spacious storage compartments as passenger holds, but that still leaves the problem of pricing for starship scale fly speed. If only there was a handy formula to convert one to the other.

RobShanti posted this on Wizards a couple of years back but here is his take on the starfighter as a CL9

Wookieepedia says the Mark II Advanced Droid Starfighter, the successor of the Mark I, was also capable of walking, though it was much larger and clumsier than the Mark I. Once in space, however, the Advanced Droid Starfighter was faster, more maneuverable, and possessed greatly enhanced firepower than the Mark I. With that in mind, I created these stats (these things are monsters...definitely meant to be pitted against the Jedi pilots of the Clone Wars):
