Individual Starfighter details after the break...
T-65 X-WING STARFIGHTER
Manufacturer: Incom Corporation
The workhorse of the New Republic, the Incom X-wing starfighter is a great all-rounder, packing a good balance of firepower, durability, and maneuverability into its distinctive frame. This is the most versatile and easiest to handle of the New Republic starfighters and is effective against both enemy starfighters and capital ships. This is the ideal ship for rookies, but is also well-suited to experienced pilots, as it can adapt to any situation that may arise.
| Starfighter Class | Fighter |
| Maneuverability | Medium |
| Firepower | Medium |
| Armor | Medium |
| Shields | Medium |
| Silhouette | Harder to see and hit from front or rear, easier to see and hit from above or below. |
| Cockpit visibility | Visibility is unobstructed forward and to the sides, but restricted above, below and to the rear of the cockpit. |
BTL Y-WING BOMBER
Manufacturer: Koensayr Manufacturing
The heavy hitter of any New Republic squadron, the multi-role Y-wing bomber may be sluggish compared to other ships in the New Republic’s roster. But what it lacks in speed, it more than makes up for in stamina and firepower. While its loadout makes it formidable in a dogfight, the Y-wing shines during assaults on capital ships, where its toughened hull, powerful shields, and devastating loadout can be the deciding factors in fleet engagements.
| Starfighter Class | Bomber |
| Maneuverability | Low |
| Firepower | High |
| Armor | High |
| Shields | High |
| Silhouette | Harder to see and hit from front or rear, easier to see and hit from above or below. |
| Cockpit visibility | Visibility is unobstructed forward and to the sides, but restricted above, below and to the rear of the cockpit. |
RZ-1 A-WING INTERCEPTOR
Manufacturer: Kuat Systems Engineering
By far the fastest and most agile starfighter in the New Republic’s lineup, the A-wing interceptor is built for dogfighting. While it is handy at taking out turrets on capital ships to clear the way for the heavy-hitters, the A-wing is better suited for forging ahead and tearing through enemy starfighters. Its weak hull and shields mean that it can’t endure much damage, but its speed and maneuverability make it a difficult target to hit and allow it to fly circles around its opponents.
| Starfighter Class | Interceptor |
| Maneuverability | High |
| Firepower | High (against starfighters) |
| Armor | Low |
| Shields | Low |
| Silhouette | Harder to see and hit from front or rear, easier to see and hit from above or below. |
| Cockpit visibility | Visibility is unobstructed forward, above and to the sides, but restricted below and to the rear of the cockpit. |
UT-60D U-WING SUPPORT CRAFT
Manufacturer: Incom Corporation
Sporting four massive thrusters that lend it surprising speed and mobility, the U-wing support craft is a welcome addition to any squadron. While it is difficult to kill in a dogfight, its true value is in supporting the squadron with life-saving supplies and repairs, allowing fellow pilots to operate more effectively. The U-wing can also disrupt enemy systems, making them easy targets for allies.
| Starfighter Class | Support |
| Maneuverability | Medium |
| Firepower | Low |
| Armor | High |
| Shields | High |
| Silhouette | Harder to see and hit from front or rear, easier to see and hit from above or below. |
| Cockpit visibility | Visibility is unobstructed forward, above and to the sides, but restricted below and to the rear of the cockpit. There is some limited visibility below the pilot’s feet. |
