Set 6979 “Interstellar Starfighter” belongs to the LEGO Space theme and is specifically part of the UFO subtheme. The model represents an alien starfighter, placing it within the faction based setting of UFO rather than an external licensed universe. Its subject is a science fiction spacecraft supported by a small cast of related characters.
The build uses 292 pieces and is centered on the main starfighter. Rebrickable lists 3 figures for the set: UFO Alien, Red, UFO Droid, Red and UFO Alien, Gray Overlord. Since the supplied facts do not confirm particular play functions, the set is best described in general terms as a spacecraft model with an alien crew and droid presence.
It is relevant for Space collectors, UFO subtheme completists and builders who want a self contained alien craft for display or play. In a Space collection, it helps represent the UFO branch clearly, especially alongside other sets where the differences between factions, color schemes and character types can be compared without relying on a licensed story.
