Have a look at the 'gfx' directory in the data tarball: 
http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/starfighter-data.tar.gz

The graphics beside ships and portraits are trivial: arrows, bullets and 
a few icons.

I don't think anyone (beside probably the original upstream author) can 
give an exact account - and probably neither him can do that, the 
graphics were made/collected a long time ago.

It was removed from the distro as we can't knowingly ship software 
without a legal license. You can download  a generic rpm from the 
project's website:
