X-83 TwinTail starfighter

X-83 TwinTail starfighter The X-83 TwinTail starfighter was the primary starfighter of the New Jedi Order as of 130 ABY.

History
It was considered to be the latest version of Incom Corporation's famed T-65 X-wing starfighter, though the only major similarity was the X-83's S-foils. Jedi Shuttles were equipped with a TwinTail.

Jedi Padawan Cade Skywalker used a TwinTail to defend a Jedi Shuttle against a squadron of Predator-class fighters. The X-83 was destroyed, but Jedi Master Wolf Sazen sensed that his apprentice had survived. It was later revealed that Cade had used the X-83's ejection seat. Twintails did not have a socket for an astronomic droid, instead having the droid hardwired into the ship, a side effect of this structural change gave each Twintail its own personality.

Behind the scenes

 * The TwinTail bears similarity to the North American P-38 Lightning, which was used in World War II. Both fighters have similar twin boom structural designs, and the TwinTail's "83" could be a reversal of the Lightning's "38".
