"Well, I asked for a dozen T-85 X-wings with cloaking devices. Guess they got held up in transit."

- Poe Dameron shortly before the Battle of Crait

The T-85 X-wing was a next-generation model of the X-wing starfighter utilized by the New Republic Defense Fleet three decades after the Battle of Endor.

Characteristics
Incom-FreiTek's T-85 X-wing starfighter featured 4 fusial thrust engines and were equipped with a hyperdrive. The engines could reach speeds up to at least 1,300 KPH and 120 MGLT. The craft was flown by 1 pilot with an onboard astromech droid for assistance. Additional systems included deflector shields and sensors.

For armament, they carried four laser cannons on the S-foils which deployed in the classic "X"-shape. The cockpit was placed near the rear, with a snub nose. Some craft were colored gray with blue trim, and had the words Republic Navy written on their hulls in Aurebesh.

Deployment by the New Republic
Successor to both the T-65 X-wing used by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War and the T-70 X-wing used by the New Republic during its early years, the T-85 X-wing was the latest incarnation of the classic X-wing starfighter decades after the Battle of Jakku in 5 ABY. Following the retirement of the old T-70s, which would later be repurposed by the Resistance, the New Republic Defense Fleet deployed a fleet of T-85 X-wings in order to maintain peace during the Republic's reign across the galaxy. Some official documentation regarding the T-85 X-wing pilots, such as personnel records and profiles, were decorated with a silhouette of the X-wing.

Rescue attempt of Yissira Zyde
Commander Poe Dameron flew T-85 X-wings with the rest of Rapier Squadron while serving the New Republic. Dameron was subsequently recruited into the Resistance,

Rendezvousing with the Resistance
The episode opens with three New Republic T-85 X-wings being pursued by First Order Major Elrik Vonreg's crimson TIE Interceptor. C4 squeals in fright as Kazuda Xiono's X-wing races through space. Kazuda argues with C4, telling him that this mission would be dangerous. Kazuda doesn't know where Resistance Commander Poe Dameron is. His fellow squadron mate Hugh Sion says that he's sure that Poe will get through and that they'll be here long enough to see him. The third pilot Mia Gabon tells them to lock it up and to get out of here.

As the TIE Interceptor closes in, Kazuda says they can't retreat since New Republic Command gave clear orders for them to deliver the intelligence to the Resistance. Hugh says they don't know what the intelligence is about. Kazuda thinks that it is pretty important for them to be getting shot at. When Mia says they can't even touch the enemy fighter, Kazuda orders them to report back to base while he delivers the intel. Mia exacts a promise from Kazuda to have their back. Kazuda also vows to make the TIE Interceptor pilot wish that he never met him.

Kazuda turns his X-wing around to face the TIE Interceptor and opens his fight's S-foils. While the other X-wings retreat into hyperspace, Kazuda launches a frontal attack on the TIE Interceptor. Major Vonreg shoots the top left S-foil of Kazuda's fighter, knocking out the ship. Kazuda asks C4 if his comrades managed to escape into hyperspace. C4 tells Kazuda that their power is down. Kazuda asks how long it will take for them to get it back just as Major Vonreg returns for a second run. C4 squeals that he is too young to die, and Kazuda adds that he is also too young to die.

Major Vonreg fires two proton torpedoes at Kazuda's X-wing. Before they can hit their target, they are neutralized by two torpedoes fired by Poe Dameron's T-70 X-wing starfighter. Poe tells Kazuda to hold on tight cause he's got him and confronts the TIE Interceptor. Both Poe and BB-8 are amazed that the kid is still in one piece. Poe describes the TIE pilot as a real ace and vows to take care of him. Poe's X-wing leaders the TIE Interceptor on a chase. C4 and Kazuda argue with the latter saying that he can't sit back and tells C4 to power up the engines.

While Poe is leading the enemy TIE Interceptor on a chase, Kazuda contacts him over the intercom and tells him that he has an idea. Working together, Poe lures Major Vonreg's TIE Interceptor into the firing range of Kazuda's X-wing. At Kazuda's signal, Poe pulls his X-wing up. A laser blast from Kazuda's X-wing hist the back of the TIE Interceptor, inflicting some damage. With the tables turned, Poe pursues the red TIE Interceptor but Major Vonreg takes his fighter into hyperspace. Poe tells BB-8 next time we'll get him. He asks Kazuda what's his name. Kazuda introduces himself to Poe, who invites him aboard his ship for a "patch-up". When Kazuda asks "what", a CR90 corvette exits hyperspace above his X-wing.

While on a mission from New Republic Command, Kazuda Xiono's team employed T-85s. They were sent to rendezvous with the Resistance to pass along intelligence. Major Elrik Vonreg of the First Order engaged them. Xiono ordered his wingmen to escape, but his craft was damaged. Commander Dameron's arrival at the site saved Xiono, allowing them to trap and damage Vonreg's TIE with his sole remaining cannon, forcing him to retreat. Xiono's craft was then towed aboard a CR90 corvette.

Hosnian Cataclysm
The New Republic's T-85 X-wing fleet was atomized when the First Order destroyed the Hosnian system in 34 ABY. Shortly afterward, Commander Dameron joked to General Leia Organa that he had ordered a shipment of the T-85s in the leadup to the Battle of Crait as the Resistance fled the First Order counter-attack.

Behind the scenes
"[Before the Awakening] was a tie-in to [Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens] so it needed to have images that invoke the feeling of that film&hellip; also T-85 designs just didn't exist yet."

- Matt Martin

The T-85 X-wings first appeared in the 2015 young-readers novel Before the Awakening, written by Greg Rucka and published as part of the Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens imprint. Although they were first pictured in the 2016 book Poe Dameron: Flight Log merely as a decorative silhouette, their full design was revealed in "The Recruit," the premiere of the Star Wars Resistance animated television series that aired on October 7, 2018.

The illustrations featured in Before the Awakening incorrectly depict the T-85 X-wings as T-70s, which were set to prominently appear in the then-upcoming film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. According to the Lucasfilm Story Group's Matt Martin, this is due to the Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens publishing program having aimed to invoke the feeling of the film, and also the T-85 X-wings having not been designed at that point. This is also the case for Poe and the Missing Ship, a 2017 partial storybook adaptation of the aforementioned novel.

In the 2017 reference book Star Wars: The Rebel Files, which is, in fact, an in-universe document featuring an abundance of information related to the Rebel Alliance, there are two proposed T-65 X-wing designs for a secret rebel operation. One of them has a repaint in shades of blue and white, in a similar fashion to the T-85 X-wing. However, a handwritten note by Poe Dameron in the book states that Karé Kun requested him to do a similar repaint for their fighters during their time with Rapier Squadron, but Dameron refused it; although now looking at it, he regretted his decision.

states that the events of the Star Wars Resistance television series take place six months before the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. Therefore, the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, including the Hosnian Cataclysm, must take place six months after the mission to rendezvous with the Resistance as seen in "The Recruit," the series premiere for Star Wars Resistance.
