STRENGTHS

• TOUGHER THAN A 2 CREDIT NERF STEAK: They may be slow, but the armor on them, the angular designs, they can take a BEATING.
• BRRRRRRRRRRT: If the "B-WIng" is "The Hand of the Force", then mounted Rail gun is its middle finger.

WEAKNESSES

• SLOWER THAN A CONSTIPATED BANTHA: These ships cannot outrun others, they can maneuver, but they are still slow.
• LIMITED RANGE: They do have a hyperdrive, but these fighters are "heavy" for a reason.

DESCRIPTION
The A/SF-01 B-wing starfighter, manufactured by Slayn & Korpil, was a relatively poor dogfighter, but 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. Indeed, the B-wing boasted more firepower than most corvettes. At the same time, it was slower and less maneuverable than a Y-wing, gave off a significant infrared signature, and required more maintenance than any other Rebel starfighter.

The primary airfoil took up the length of the hull, with the cylindrical command pod at one end and a weapons pod at the other, and an engine cluster in between. Two S-foils just below the engine on either side of the main airfoil provided similar functionality to those on the X-wing starfighter but featured more advanced actuator technology and locking mechanisms. Anti-gravity generators and repulsorlift projectors were mounted in the S-foils.

The command pod featured a cockpit for the pilot, life support systems, flight computer, comlink transceiver and various sensor systems such as a long-range forward scanner, short-range tactical sensor and weather radar. While the B-wing featured an ejector seat, the pod could also disconnect from the rest of the starfighter with a separate sublight engine at the rear of the pod. The avionics packages were on par with those used by small capital ships.[SUP] [/SUP]Advanced targeting systems allowed pilots to synchronize attacks across multiple B-wing fighters.

The B-wing was unusual compared to other starfighters in that its command pod featured a unique gyroscopic control system that kept it stationary as the rest of the starfighter rotated around it. By keeping the cockpit module level with a horizon no matter how the body of the craft was positioned, the B-wing pilot was better able to concentrate on flying and targeting enemy ships, allowing them to evade enemy fire while staying on target. This gyroscopic stabilization also minimized the g-stresses the pilot felt performing evasive maneuvers. If however the gyroscopic system failed, it would lock the wing in place and put the pilot under more physical strain when attempting to make tight turns.

Taking all of this information, GAL Ltd. built these newer models and while the cost outweighs the effectiveness, there more than enough to go to the Foundation's "Danger Squadron".
