Affiliation: Rebel Alliance
X-wing starfighters are the Rebel Alliance's workhorses and show their rugged durability by being in constant use. Luke flies an X-wing at the Battle of Yavin, which he enters as an unknown rookie and emerges as one of the Rebellion's greatest heroes. Assigned a spot on Red Squadron, he defies expectations as he expertly pilots his X-wing fighter into the fray, out-flying and out-fighting the swarming Imperial TIE Fighters.
Death Star
Designer: Grand Moff Tarkin
Function: The Ultimate Weapon in the New Order
Prime Weapon: Superlaser
Size: 120 kilometers in diameter
Destroyed: The Peaceful Planet of Alderaan
Affiliation: Empire
The Death Star is supposed to be the Empire's ultimate weapon in crushing the last remnants of the Rebellion. This massive space station is capable of destroying a planet with a single blast from its superlaser. It houses legions of Imperial troops and has a formidable array of turbolasers and tractor beams. During a full-scale Rebel assault, however, this technological terror is ultimately no match for the power of the Force.
TIE Advanced x1 Starfighter
Company: Sienar Fleet Systems
Model: TIE Advanced x1 Starfighter
Function: Vader's Customized Starfighter
Crew: Darth Vader
Weapons: Twin Laser Cannons
Affiliation: Empire
When the Rebel forces set out to destroy the Death Star, Imperial gunners find it difficult to hit the small X-wing fighters. Darth Vader has more success in his customized TIE Advanced x1 fighter which* deflector shields, hyperdrive capability, and a more robust frame than standard TIE fighters. Vader successfully takes out several X-wings, but a shot from the Millennium Falcon sends him spinning off into space.
* Misspelled on original package, it should actually say "with."
