A-wing fighter

The A-wing, a lightweight, wedge-shaped military starfight, made its appearance recently as part of the Rebel Alliance's fleet. Designed for high speed and maneuverability, the A-wing carries two wing-mounted pivoting blaster cannons, a sophisticated targeting computer and sensor array, and light combat shields. Built for ship-to-ship combat and to serve as escort craft for larger starships, it is the Alliance's answer to the newer TIE fighter models. Two extra-large real-space power plants and low total mass make this the fastest combat starfighter in either arsenal, beating out even the TIE interceptor for pure speed in normal space.
