The
Incom Corporation T-65
X-Wing is the successor to the
Incom Corporation/
Subpro Z-95 Headhunter and the standard
Starfighter within the
Rebel Alliance. With a good balance between speed, shields and firepower is suitable for quite a few tasks including
dogfights and
hit and run tactics.
Unlike its counterpart, the
TIE Interceptor, it employs a
Hyperdrive and Navigation system controlled by an
astromech droid and does not require a hangarship for deep space operations.
The T-65's four
Taim & Bak IX4
Laser Cannons mounted on each
S-foil wingtip that can be linked in dual or
quadruple mode.
Because of its special design it can fold its
S-foils together for transport, takeoff, landing,
hyperspace travel and better
flight control in
atmospheric flight.
The wings are in X formation (unfolded) during battle for greater maneuverability and firing accuracy.
There are several types of the T-65
X-Wing. T-65A was the first
non-prototype and started production three years before the
Battle of Yavin. Only a few T-65As were produced before the T-65B was introduced, making the T-65A very limited.
The T-65B has improved sensors and avionics, as well as improved shields.
Luke Skywalker's Red 5 was a T-65B in the
Battle of Yavin, when the first
Deathstar was destroyed.
The T-65B was then improved to the faster and more maneuverable T-65C featuring more powerful engines. Around half of the T-65s at the
Battle of Endor were T-65Cs. The T-65D was produced at the same time as the T-65C, but had only the performance of the T-65B as it was designed as a training ship which was 2 meters longer because it had one extra seat.
The T-65E is the reconnaissance version of the
X-Wing. It is quite similar to the T-65D, but with additional provisions, life support, and scanning equipment. The T-65 E were supposed to replace the Longprobe
Y-Wings for Reconnaissancation.
The T-65F is an improved T-65C featuring better shields and some modifications to the avionics and sensors. The T-65F was was produced before the
Battle of Endor and served during the battle.
The T-65G featured two Ion cannons instead of the
Proton Torpedo Launchers. They were intended to replace the
Y-Wings in roles where ion cannon was needed. They were produced just before the
Battle of Endor, but just a few served in that battle.
The T-65H is the heavy attack version of the T-65, which carrys 4 large
Proton torpedoes, and 4 tubes to launch them simultaneously rather then the normal 2
Proton Torpedo Launchers.
The T-65H has also an improved targeting computer, and is similar to the T-65D in size.
The T-65I is the post-war version of the
X-Wing with several improvements. They are similar to the T-65F in most aspects, but highly improved. These craft feature more advanced targeting systems, as well as improved sensors and targeting computer. Some of the older T-65s have been updated with the electronics and sensors of the T-65I.

The T-65
X-Wing was originally planned as a new
Starfighter for the Empire as they had a contract with
Incom Corporation. But some of the technicians and suppliers working for
Incom Corporation were secretly sympathetic to the
Rebel Alliance, and during a raid from the Rebels, they defected to the
Rebel Alliance, bringing the T-65
X-Wing prototypes along. The T-65
X-Wing was first seen in action two years before the
Battle of Yavin. They soon got very disliked by the
Imperial Navy as the
X-Wings were far superior to their
TIE fighters. In both
Battle of Yavin and
Battle ofEndor T-65
X-Wings were responsible for the destruction of the
Death Stars. After the
Battle of Endor, they were mass-produced, equipping most new capital ships and bases of the
New Republic.
