The BT-45D U-wing[2] was a transport model manufactured by Incom Corporation, and was the civilian version of the military UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft. Stripped of all its military applications as well as its hyperdrive, the BT-45D found favor with private security forces[2] on a few scattered worlds in the Mid Rim during the reign of the Galactic Empire, while the UT-60D only had a limited production run prior to 0 BBY.[1] Incom Corp recycled pre-planned options for the BT-45 version.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
The BT-45D U-wing was first mentioned in the U-wing section of the 2016 reference book Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1]
