I’ve beloved this fighter because the 90’s Tie Fighter recreation. information from Wookiepedia under:
The Cygnus Spaceworks Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing, often known as the Xg-1 Starwing[9] or Assault Gunboat, was one of many Galactic Empire’s first general-deployment starfighters to be outfitted with deflector shields and a hyperdrive.
The ten-meter-long Xg-1 was based mostly on a tri-wing design much like the Lambda-class shuttle, one other craft that Cygnus Spaceworks designed. Just like the Lambda shuttle, the Star Wing had a hard and fast dorsal wing flanked by a pair of lateral folding wings. When touchdown, the decrease wings folded upwards. Nonetheless, the Xg-1 had a sleeker cockpit and warhead/engine pods alongside the facet of the hull. It had two extra folding wings that protruded diagonally from the facet pods, at an angle reflexive to the lateral wings. These secondary wings afforded the Xg-1 considerably elevated maneuverability over its shuttle counterpart. When in flight place, the wing configuration resembled a flattened five-point star, thus the identify “Star Wing.”[7]
Its armament consisted of two chin-mounted laser cannons, two ion cannons above the cockpit, and a pair of general-purpose warhead launchers. The Star Wing may additionally carry the tractor beam weapon developed for the TIE Avenger and newer Imperial starfighters; the one identified use of this was throughout Maarek Stele’s marketing campaign within the Eva-T system to snare enemy craft.[7]
The usual payload was sixteen concussion missiles,[2] eight per launcher, although relying upon the mission the Star Wing may alternatively carry twelve proton torpedoes, eight heavy rockets, or 4 heavy area bombs.[7] Some Xg-1s additionally carried Ion torpedoes.[10]
The Xg-1 was a comparatively giant starfighter, which enabled it to accommodate a hyperdrive and deflector shields. Nonetheless, it was not significantly quick and had common maneuverability, making it mediocre in area superiority.[7] The starfighter additionally borrowed the usual reactor design from the TIE sequence, which, like these fighters, was mounted instantly on the tail of the craft.[4]
