T-65B X-wing starfighter/Legends

T-65B X-wing starfighter The T-65B X-wing starfighter was a modified version of the standard X-wing starfighter produced by Incom Corporation. They were faster, more updated fighters compared to their predecessors, but still slower than and not as heavily armed as the Imperial TIE Defender.

History
During the planning stages for the T-65B, turncoat technician Ral Shawgrim attempted to deliver a near-complete set of plans for the starfighter to Sienar Fleet Systems. However, despite his escape, the plans were retrieved.

The T-65B later became the workhorse of the Rebel Fleet. It was present early in the rebellion and later became a symbol for alliance tactics. "Hit fast and hard, and take advantage of all opportunities presented to you." The Alliance later developed the T-65C-A2 X-wing starfighter, but these ships were rare. most rebel x-wing pilots flew the B model. At least some members of Rogue Squadron were piloting the starfighter during the campaign against Lord Shadowspawn. Rogue Squadron's T-65B fighters were used to deploy flechette torpedoes at the Battle of the Corellian Queen.
