UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft

The UT-60D, also known as the U-wing, was a transport/gunship model manufactured by Incom Corporation and used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. Used to drop troops into battle, and provide cover fire for them, U-wings featured at least one side door which could also be used as a viewport for a mounted blaster cannon. The wings of the U-wing were retractable and could be positioned forward-facing or backward-facing depending on the situation. The U-wing participated in the Battle of Scarif, in which it shuttled the Rogue One squad to the planet in order to carry out the theft of the Death Star plans. The U-wing also saw action during the Battle of Jakku as a part of the New Republic Starfleet.
