T-65BR

The T-65BR X-Wing reconnaissance starfighter, commonly called the Recon-X, was a variant of the Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter modified for reconnaissance missions.

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 astromech droid coordinated the sensors to provide maximum efficiency, a requirement when jumping into potentially dangerous zones. 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.
