DESCRIPTION
The X-83 TwinTail starfighter, sometimes called the "New Republic X-Wing" or the "New Republic starfighter," is an X-wing series starfighter manufactured exclusively for the New Republic Defense Forces. It shares the iconic X-wing design, minus the twin tails that give it its name, and a yellow paintjob that sets it apart from the models used by planetary defense forces or the Independent Systems Consortium. Deemed too powerful for civilian use, only New Republic security forces or pilots in the Navy are seen using a TwinTail.

The X-83 TwinTail is the most balanced starfighter in the New Republic Navy, able to take on a variety of roles depending on the mission its pilot is undertaking. Its hull was stronger than most shuttles and it bore light deflector screens to further mitigate damage. However, it was still vulnerable to intense atmospheric conditions, such as the rampant storms on Eadu. The TwinTails were designed with dogfighting in mind, as it had top of the line weapons, spread out in the iconic X-shaped formation of at typical X-wing, capable of firing in sequence or lined together. The fighter was also equipped with proton torpedoes.

Unlike most X-Wing models, the New Republic TwinTails feature an integrated astromech rather than requiring an external droid fitted into a slot, turning the droid into an extension of the fighter's main computer. This allowed each pilot's ship to bear a personality of its own without frequent memory wipes, allowing for a ship that was perfectly melded with its pilot.

Due to the resources needed to mass-produce these fighters, they were not as common as the CF9 Crossfire starfighters. As a result, they were rarely seen in planetary defense fleets, and were instead integrated into more important battlegroups to make the most of their power and versatility.


LEGALITY
Restricted. X-83 TwinTail are starfighters, and are subject to extra licensing requirements and increased scrutiny by authorities. Additionally, they are restricted to characters in the New Republic Navy due to laws and regulations within the New Republic.

INTENT
To continue my efforts to modernize and distinguish the New Republic Navy as an entity on its own.

RESTRICTIONS
The X-83 TwinTail is available only to characters who are part of the New Republic faction, or who were part of it in the past.

For balance reasons, the specs of this fighter have been adjusted downward.
