![]() The X-wing fighter has a compact life support system of compressors, temperature regulators, and oxygen scrubbing filters. The X-wing would become the mainstay fighter for the Alliance for much of the Galactic Civil War. In response to the X-wing fighter threat, the Empire designed the new TIE Interceptor to be its space superiority fighter. Like its predecessor, the Incom/Subpro Z-95, the X-wing fighter has a reputation for being able to absorb damage, but is also quite fast and maneuverable. Technicians and suppliers in the employ of Incom were secretly sympathetic to the Alliance, and during a daring Rebel raid, they defected to the Rebellion, bringing the X-wing fighter prototypes with them. The X-wing starfighter became the premiere Alliance weapon when the Empire nationalized the Incom Corporation. Three landing gears extend when the fighter is docked. The astromech droid provides astrogation data for the fighter's hyperdrives, and serves as a co-pilot and technician during flight. Behind the X-wing's cockpit is an astromech socket. Located midway through the ship is the X-wing's cockpit module. The surface of each S-foil bears squadron and fighter markings. The wings not only serve as stabilizer surfaces in air travel, but also distribute deflector ship shield energy and serve as weapons mounts. Each engine has an aerodynamic S-foil mounted on it. The long, narrow spaceframe is flanked in the aft quarter by four massive realspace engines. The sleek fuselage of the X-wing starfighter is 12.5 meters long. Pressed into service time and again, the typical Alliance X-wing shows the scars from previous engagements, though the fact that it still performs as an advanced vessel of space superiority is indication of the ruggedness of the craft. The Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter has become a symbol of the Rebellion's starfighter corps. The pre-buff chassis mods (S/A/D/Y/P/R/TS/) were identical to the Advanced Xwing, and were nearly all increased. Before the buff, the X-wing had a 3rd gun slot, which was removed, but it shouldn't be missed by leveling pilots due to the low mass which makes fitting 3 guns problematic. ![]() The buff made the X-wing similar in overall characteristics to the Star-viper: a fast, 2-gun, medium fighter that fits a niche in PvP between the small 1-gun interceptors and the larger but slower bombers and heavy fighters. ![]() In February 2023, the X-wing received a buff aimed at setting the ship apart from the categorically better Advanced X-wing. It has greater maneuverability than a Y-Wing and is tougher than a Z-95. Mid-tier pilots might welcome the X-wing when it becomes available to them. ![]()
