Yesterday I re-wrote the encyclopedia entries for the starfighter cards. The editing was done with Rebellion only and thus they are all <= the size of the original Rebellion Encyclopedia texts. Y-Wing Koensayr's Y-Wing is an aging but still superb attack starfighter. Well armored and agile, the Alliance's bomber mounts a hyperdrive, dual proton torpedo launchers, two ion guns, and a dual blaster turret. X-Wing Based on the successful Z-95 Headhunter, Incom's T-65 X-wing is more powerful, more heavily shielded, and more agile than its predecessor. Mounting a hyperdrive, quad blasters and a proton torpedo launcher, the X-Wing's survivability, firepower and ease of maintenance have made it a favorite of pilots and crews alike. A-Wing Easy to overheat and hard to maintain, the Dodonna/Blissex A-wing is nevertheless an important starfighter. Extremely fast and agile, armed with dual blasters and concussion missile launchers, and with a hyperdrive and an extensive sensor package, it is well suited for space superiority and hit and fade missions. B-Wing Designed by Admiral Ackbar, the Slayn & Korpil B-Wing is a new generation of attack starfighter. Heavily armored and mounting a small turbolaser, two proton torpedo launchers and three ion guns (as well as dual blasters), a single B-wing can threaten a small capital starship. TIE Fighter Sienar Systems T.I.E. Fighters make up the bulk of the Imperial starfighter corps. These small, lightly armored craft have no life support, shield generators, or hyperdrives making them cheap to produce and maintain in the large numbers necessary for their space superiority role. TIE Bomber A heavily armored attack starfighter, the Sienar T.I.E. Bomber is easily recognised with two pods between bent-wing radiator panels. One pod contains the pilot and Solar Ionization Reactor and the second pod contains the extensive weapons suite. The T.I.E. Bomber has no hyperdrive, life support or shields, making it cheap to build and easy to maintain. TIE Interceptor A great improvement over the T.I.E. Fighter, Sienar's T.I.E. Interceptor is more heavily armored and mounts quad blasters on its panels. A more powerful Solar Ionization Reactor has been installed making the Interceptor almost as fast and maneuverable as the Alliance's A-wing. However, it still lacks the shields, hyperdrive and life support systems found on most Alliance starfighters. TIE Defender Sienar's T.I.E. Defender is one of the few production fighters to be equipped with both a shield generator and hyperdrive system (although it still lacks life support). The Defender mounts considerable firepower in the form of proton torpedo and twin concussion missile launchers, two ion guns and four automatic blaster cannon which can target multiple enemies at once! Maneuvering thrusters are housed in the three odd shaped radiator panels which give the Defender maneuverability almost on the level of the Alliance's A-wing, with speed to match that of the T.I.E. Interceptor.
