  • The E-wing Escort Starfighter is a single-pilot starfighter developed by FreiTek Inc. It was the first fighter designed entirely under the support of the New Republic. There are currently two different models, the Type A, and the Type B, but the only real difference between them is that the Type B has better shields, faster engines, and can support astromechs other than the R7-series. Most E-wings currently in service to the New Republic are of the Type B variety.
  • As designed, the E-wing was intended to match, or exceed, the performance of the preceding X-wing series in nearly every respect, and was originally intended to replace the older design in New Republic service. However, the craft suffered from some significant problems when first deployed among front-line squadrons, including malfunction issues with the laser cannons and the new R7 astromech units. As a result, many pilots continued to fly upgraded versions of the venerable X-wing.

abstract
  • As designed, the E-wing was intended to match, or exceed, the performance of the preceding X-wing series in nearly every respect, and was originally intended to replace the older design in New Republic service. However, the craft suffered from some significant problems when first deployed among front-line squadrons, including malfunction issues with the laser cannons and the new R7 astromech units. As a result, many pilots continued to fly upgraded versions of the venerable X-wing. Despite the initial problems, improved models of the E-wing would see wide spread use by the New Republic, particularly by the Fifth Fleet, and later by the Galactic Alliance. They would play a significant role in every engagement from the Black Fleet Crisis, through the Yuuzhan Vong War, and beyond. By the time of the Second Galactic Civil War, the E-wing had matured into an excellent starfighter design and equipped several elite squadrons of the Galactic Alliance. However, it never achieved the same popularity or wide spread use as the X-wing.
  • The E-wing Escort Starfighter is a single-pilot starfighter developed by FreiTek Inc. It was the first fighter designed entirely under the support of the New Republic. There are currently two different models, the Type A, and the Type B, but the only real difference between them is that the Type B has better shields, faster engines, and can support astromechs other than the R7-series. Most E-wings currently in service to the New Republic are of the Type B variety. The E-wing has an excellent combination of firepower, maneuverability, speed, and armor. The spaceframe of the E-wing is surrounded by two aerodynamic foils which provide stability and increased weapons ability. The nosecone contains the starfighter's powerful sensors, while a concealed astromech droid can easily be positioned midway through the craft. Directly in front of the astromech slot is the cockpit. The fighter is heavily armed with three laser cannons and one proton torpedo launcher with a magazine of sixteen torpedoes. Like most New Republic designs, the lasers are spread out and can be set to converge at varying distances. Much of the great cost of the first E-wings came from the use of the R7 droid, a much more sophisticated and expensive astromech than the classic R2 and R5 astromechs. A newer model of the E-wing, the Type B, managed to remedy this, however, by being able to interface with earlier astromech models, such as an R2 or R5 unit.
