DESCRIPTION​

The A/SF-01 B-Wing, manufactured by Slayn & Korpil, was a heavy starfighter developed by the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and is probably the best example of the Rebellion's hit-and-run doctrine in tactics and design. A relatively poor nekfighter, it was primarily designed as a "blockade buster" to attack and destroy large capital ships. As such, it was equipped with weaponry and systems normally reserved for much larger craft.

The primary airfoil took up the length of the hull, with the cylindrical cockpit at one end and a weapons pod at the other end, with an engine cluster in between. Two S-foils just below the engine on either side of the main airfoil could be extended to deploy twin ion cannons. The B-Wing carried a total of three ion cannons, and was also armed with a heavy laser cannon, twin auto-blasters, and two launchers for proton torpedoes and other ordinance, each with six projectiles for a total capacity of twelve. The B-Wing also had a unique gyroscopic control system that could keep the rotating cockpit module level with a horizon no matter how the body of the craft was positioned. The starfighter was equipped with a class 2 hyperdrive and had four engines capable of reaching 91 MGLT. The cockpit had a tactical display for the pilot as well as a targeting computer. The avionics packages were on par with those used by small capital ships.

B-Wings were used by the Rebellion, and remained in service into the New Republic years. Though they were eventually retired from New Republic inventory, B-Wings remain formidable craft even well over a century later, and are highly prized by organizations and individuals who have managed to get hold of them.
