What, seek out revisionist works? Heresy!
Incom Corporation T-65 X-Wing Space Superiority Fighter - The X-wing is among the most advanced single-pilot starfighter ever produced. The starfighter receives its name from its double-layered wings, which separate into an "X" formation during combat to increase the craft's field of fire. Each wing is armed with a high-powered laser cannon and accurate proton torpedo launchers. Although the X-wing is designed for just one pilot and no passengers, the X-wing jockey is never truly alone thanks to the astromech socket located behind the cockpit. One of the X-wing's greatest assets is its durability: the fighter's reinforced titanium alloy hull, deflector shield projectors, and transparisteel canopy ensure that it can withstand several hits without suffering serious damage. The X-wing's history is nearly as important as its capabilities. Designed by Incom Corporation in the early days of the Empire, the X-wing schematics found their way into Rebel hands when several Incom engineers defected to the Alliance. The Rebels began producing the X-wings in modest numbers and the vehicle has quickly become one the most important weapons in the Alliance arsenal.

Koensayr BTL-S3 Y-Wing Attack Starfighter - Prior to the advent of the X-wing, the Y-wing served as the Rebel Alliance's primary attack starfighter. The snub fighter, characterized by its triangular cockpit and two long engine pylons was considered outdated by the time of the Battle of Yavin, but its durability and heavy-firepower has ensured it a place in Alliance fleet. While the Alliance relies on the Y-wing for everything from escort duty to reconnaissance, the starfighter was originally designed for close-quarters combat with space stations and large starships. Light bombing runs and surgical strikes are also part of the Y-wing's mission profile. The starfighter's modular weapons emplacements allow it to be upgraded easily, yet another reason for its continued success. While the Rebel Alliance maintains the largest fleet of active Y-wings, the starfighters are also in heavy use by criminal organizations, mercenary groups, pirates, and privateers.
