Much of the Y-wing stock was initially sold to local planetary defense markets, though Imperial intervention caused many unsold, repossessed and surplus Y-wings to be allocated for reclamation. However, the rise of the Galactic Empire saw the new Imperial Navy shift towards a capital ship-based space superiority doctrine, causing Koensayr to lose their government contract. The Y-wing is used mainly as a bomber, because it can carry a heavy payload of missiles, torpedoes and bombs." ― General Carlist Rieekan Ī single-seat variant of the BTL-B Y-wing starfighter, BTL-A4s were designed by Koensayr to serve in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars. The armor on this ship is extensive, and the shields will protect you from just about anything, which is good, because you won't be going anywhere fast. It's not quick or flashy but it gets the job done. " The Y-wing is the workhorse of the Rebel Fleet. īy the Galactic Civil War, many Y-wings were stripped of their hull plating and engine nacelles, shortening their length to 16.24 meters, for ease of maintenance, as their older parts often broke down, and models that eliminated the gunner's turret had been introduced. The starfighter was capable of unleashing a tremendous amount of firepower, especially when attacking in groups: a squadron of Y-wings could carry enough ordnance to glass an entire city, bathing the battlefield in blinding white detonations which scrambled sensors. The Y-wing's targeting system was made from combining a Fabritech ANc 2.7 tracking computer and an SI 5g7 "Quickscan" vector imaging system. The starfighter was constructed with a hull of titanium-reinforced alusteel alloy, and it was armed with two forward-mounted Taim & Bak IX4 laser cannons, along with two Arakyd Flex Tube proton torpedo launchers, and a twin ArMek SW-4 ion cannon on a rotating turret. In the event that the craft would have to make a make an emergency landing, the pilot could dump its fuel from the engines. The Y-wing's main sensor array contained a ANs-5d "lock track" full-spectrum transceiver, a PA-9r long-range phased tachyon detection array unit, and a short range PTAG #PG-7u unit. A Chempat deflector shield generator was located behind the power generator. įor power, the ship had a Novaldex power generator behind the astromech droid slot, and Thiodyne 03-R cryogenic power cells inside the engine pylons. Squadron markings were placed on the cockpit and the forward tips of the engine nacelles. The R300-H hyperdrive motivator was at the rear of the spar. The engines had exhaust nacelles and support pylons, and had sensor array domes that contained Fabritech ANx-y sensor arrays on the front of the nacelles. Two Koensayr R200 ion jet engines were attached to either side of the spar. The wedge-shaped cockpit was placed on the front of the craft, with the central spar extending behind it. The long attack starfighter measured in at 23.4 meters. Located behind the cockpit was an astromech droid slot. Unlike the BTL-B Y-wing starfighter/bomber, which had a rotating turret controlled by a gunner, who sat facing forwards or backwards, the BTL-A4 was flown by a single pilot, while the turret was controlled by a droid-like targeting computer. " Our allies took a lot of risks to obtain these fighters, and our mechanics and technicians have made each one faster and more lethal than the Koensayr manufacturers ever intended." ― Jon Vander
