ADVANCED SYSTEMS

Strengths:

• Heavy Hitter - Filled with extended missile pods and a bomb chute, this Y-Wing is a devastating frontal assault bomber
• Heavily Armed - This Y-Wing is more heavily armed than her contemporaries

Weaknesses:

• Low Maneuverability - The Y-Wing is not designed to be a space superiority fighter. This fighter is designed to take a beating, and hit its targets and return home
• Slower Speed - The Y-Wing will not keep up with her speedier sisters. The Y-Wing puts its focus on engines strength and ability to be repaired rather than speed.

Description: The Y-Wing Assault Craft is an update to the Y-Wing and the U-Wing fighters used by the Alliance. The Y-Wing is designed to fulfill two roles*, depending on the needs for the mission. The two tasks given to the Y-Wing are the rapid deployment of Grav-Chute soldiers. Designed to take a beating, the Y-Wing will be able to ensure she gets herself over the target zone and launch the GravTroops from the re-structured bomb chute. This version of the assault craft uses missiles to defend from the bottom and using the manned dual-laser cannon turret to defend from fighters. The second role is designed to destroy heavy vehicles and hardened targets. The room in the back is replaced to hold bombs to be launched down a bomb chute and double up the torpedoes/missile loadout.

What is standard for the Y-Wing Assault craft is that it has room for the pilot, astromech droid for navigation, and at least one other crew-member to assist with in-flight repairs and as the bomb expert or jump-master.
