Prototype B6

The Blade Wing was the prototype B-wing starfighter created by the Mon Calamari engineer Quarrie on the planet Shantipole. Quarrie provided the prototype to Captain Hera Syndulla of the rebellion so she could use it to help the Phoenix fleet break the Imperial blockade around the planet Ibaar and deliver supplies to the Ibaarian people. Senator Bail Organa, one of the leaders of the rebellion, secured a shipyard to begin mass producing B-wings under Quarrie's guidance, and these starfighters were later used by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War.
