This meant that only the best pilots could fly an A-wing without losing control. It also meant that the pilot had to control dorsal and ventral stabilizers, as well as thrust-vector controls built into the engines, and thruster-control jets located between the engines, all without any droid assistance. However, in modifying the RZ-22 to the RZ-1 A-wing, engineers traded out Astromech ports for more engine power, which meant that flying the RZ-1 required precision from its pilot. It also meant that if an escort was lost, the A-wing could still escape. The prototypes, which were an even more advanced version of the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor (better known as the Jedi Starfighter), were highly customizable, and cells of Rebel engineers worked in secret to boost the fighter’s speed and acceleration, which left them with a fast, hard-hitting starfighter capable of competing with the TIE/IN interceptor newly developed.Ī-wings sport powerful Event Horizon engines, and an on-board hyperdrive, giving them enhanced ability to strike at targets or intercept enemy craft without relying on a larger carrier. But, as the Imperial takeover of the galaxy rose, the Rebel Alliance managed to recover the R-22 prototypes. If not for the monarch of Tammuz-an, a planet on the distant Outer Rim territories near Gamorr, the R-22 prototypes might still be gathering dust in a Kuat warehouse. Taking inspiration from the old wedge-shaped designs of the Republic starfighters of the Clone Wars, the RZ-1 is an evolution of the RZ-22, sometimes called the Spearhead, which was originally rejected by the Galactic Empire for being too expensive to mass-produce (they would later adopt the TIE Fighter). To begin with the RZ-1 A-wing interceptor is the pinnacle of Kuat Systems Engineering’s work. While one wasn’t piloted down the meridian trench of the Death Star, sinking a critical destructive shot as it converged on Yavin IV, but the impact this starfighter has had on the course of galactic history is no less significant. The RZ-1 A-wing starfighter is one of the most important starfighters in galactic history.
Descended from Jedi Starfighters, designed for speed and agility, the A-Wing has shaped the galaxy.
The A-Wing is the fastest ship in the Rebel Fleet.
