Incom T-70 Assault Wing
The Incom T-70 Assault Wing is a continuation of the evolution of the Z-95 Headhunter/T-65 X-Wing design, keeping the single wing design of the Headhunter, but improving the engines, weapons and shields to the standard of the X-Wing. The Twin Heavy Laser Cannons are powerful, and easily the match for the quad lasers of the X-Wing, and the Assault Wing manages to match the X-Wing in almost every other field as well. The Assault Wing sold in small numbers due to its withdrawl from the market place when Incom was nationalised, but the fighter had received very positive reviews and publicity by this time, and was well received by all those who purchased it. The Assault Wing is designed for easy storage and handling aboard carriers, and the outer part of its wing is retracted when the vessel is landed for this purpose, reducing the space needed when the vessel is being maintained and stored making it easier to store larger quantities of Assault Wings than either Headhunters or X-Wings.

Incom T-71 Assault Gunship
Description: The X-Wing fighter has constantly been one of the most successful fighters ever constructed, both in military and commercial success, however this success has also forced the fighter into roles it was never intended to fulfil. The Assault Gunship is an adaptation of the X-Wing design intended for anti capital ship use, and has been designed with powerful turbolasers as well as anti starfighter weaponary aboard it. The ship has two large pods either side of the cockpit which contain twin turbolaser cannons plus the power generators needed to fire them, atop these pods are turret mounted blaster cannons which are operated by the fighters astromech droid in defence of the vessel. This is intended to allow the pilot to concentrate on his target, and allow the defence of the fighter to be achieved virtually automatically, although in reality an Astromech droid is not a perfect gunner and requires some help and convincing to take down sentient attackers. The proton torpedo launchers have been removed since the fighter is considered to have enough firepower with its turbolasers, and the addition of two heavy Ion Cannons round out the gunships weapon load, allowing it to disable most starfighters with relative ease. The Assault Gunship is a powerful vessel, something demostrated by its price, which has kept its sales low, but these tough fighters have gained a lot of respect across the galaxy and sales look likely to continue in modest levels for some time to come.

Incom T-73 Fire Breather
Description: Although missiles and torpedoes have traditionally carried a far higher punch than energy weapons, this always came at a high cost, due to limited and depleting ammunition supplies and shorter ranges. This has meant that Starfighters always had to carry both energy and missile weapons in an attempt to combine the high power attacks of the missiles with the versatality of the energy weapons, however this was always a dissapointing choice especially for the Rebel Alliance who could barely afford the cost of each missile fired. The Fire Breather was an adaptation of the X-Wing fighter designed around the idea of firelinking 16 light and cheap laser cannons, to allow the range and inexhaustable firepower of the lasers with the punch of a missile. In this aim the Fire Breather was successful, creating a vessel capable of hammering enemy vessels with its banks of laser cannons, however the increased cost of the design required by the extra power generators and the slightly reduced speed led to the Rebellion not taking up production of the design. The designs were however stolen and the Fire Breather has become popular through the Black Market, with it being selected as a direct replacement for the Z-95 by a number of pirate and criminal organisations.

Incom T-75 Hammerhead Interceptor
Description: With the extraordinary success of the X-Wing, the Rebel Alliance expected that its design team would be able to design many other fighters which would continue to give the Rebellion's squadrons space superiority against their Imperial counterparts. Along with many other fighters, they designed the Incom T-75 Hammerhead Interceptor, which used many of the X-Wing's parts in an attempt to keep costs down, and was conveniently similar to fly as the X-Wing fighter. The T-75 is far faster than the X-Wing, and for a short time it was the fastest fighter in the Rebel Fleet, until the A-Wing was introduced. The A-Wing actually saw the end of the T-75, since it was faster, more easy to control and could perform more successful strikes against Imperial shipping due to their targetting jammers. However the T-75 was used for a short time by some Rebel Squadrons until large enough numbers of A-Wing's became available, when the fighters were moved to reserve squadrons and groups allied to the Rebellion where they can still be found.

Incom T-77 X-Wing Bomber
Description: After the defection of the Incom design team to the Rebellion, they began seeking other ways they could make themselves useful, and seeing that the Y-Wing Bomber was showing its age, and the B-Wing was still a long way from completion, they looked into filling the Bomber role for the Rebels. The X Bomber is a modified X-Wing fighter design, making use of many of the same parts, but adding two powerful Proton Bomb launchers, with a far greater range and greater power than the Torpedoes that the X and Y Wings were armed with. The X Bomber was built in small numbers, proving itself as a powerful assault vessel, but the rarity and expense of its Proton Bomb arsenal made it far more cost effective for the Rebel Alliance to keep using Y-Wings, and then to use the B-Wing once it became available. The X Bomber was then consigned to use by a few speciality squadrons, making use of its powerful bombs in cracking open enemy bunkers or vessels.
