This is the quickest starfighter deployed by any organization in the Galactic Civil War. The engines are so powerful that only the most skilled Rebel pilots are able to take full advantage of the speed they generate. Faster and more maneuverable than even the TIE Interceptor, this vehicle is a deciding influence on many battles in the war, including the Battle of Endor.

Designed By: Admiral Ackbar
Size: 16.9 meters long

Slow, ungainly and strange looking, the B-wing more than makes up in firepower what it lacks in looks. Designed to engage and destroy Imperial escort frigates, this heavy starfighter is equipped with a wide array of powerful weapons and heavier armor than any other Rebel fighter. At the Battle of Endor, these ships proved invaluable during the battle between the Imperial and Rebel fleets.
TIE Fighter
Company: Sienar Fleet Systems
Function: Starfighter
Model: TIE Fighter
Crew: Pilot
Weapons: Laser Cannons
Affiliation: Empire
TIE Fighters are the main starfighters used by the evil Imperial forces. Speedy, hard to hit and easily maneuverable, they are typically deployed en masse, flooding into combat like a swarm of insects. Twin Ion Engine crafts are armed with laser cannons that the pilots use with devastating effect, but the fighters are fragile and even a glancing blow can cause crippling damage.
