T-65BR X-wing reconnaissance starfighter

T-65BR X-wing reconnaissance starfighter The T-65BR X-wing reconnaissance starfighter, commonly called the Recon-X or Snoopscoot, was a variant of the Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter modified for reconnaissance missions. They lacked weaponry, the space and energy being used for its sensor package.

A vast improvement over the aged and slow Longprobe Y-wings, the T-65BR featured an advanced, high-gain, long-range sensor package with high-speed hypertransceivers in place of the standard X-wing's proton torpedo launchers. The onboard R2-R-series astromech droid coordinated the sensors to provide maximum efficiency, a requirement when jumping into potentially dangerous zones. It was also equipped with a HoloNet communicator that abled it to relay its findings instantaneously to allied command centers.

T-65BR used updated engines and etheric rudder protoypes to eliminate the need for thrusters. In the event that a T-65BR was captured, the pilot was armed with a deadman baradium-charge that would destroy the vessel and its recorded data if the pilot was killed.

Xarcce Huwla flew Rogue Squadron's Snoopscoot during the Galactic Civil War. Lieutenant Rone Taggar flew the Recon-X Jennie Lee during the Black Fleet Crisis. Lyyr Zatoq flew a Snoopscoot with Rogue Squadron to find the Pulsar Station.
