Another starfighter created by Hoersh-Kessel, the T-Wing is another weak, outdated vessel by today's standards. It is faster and only slightly more maneuverable than its cousin, the R-41 Starchaser, but its shields are a pathetic 20SBD in strength. The T-Wing lacks the ion cannons of the R-41, but the standard T-Wing carries a warhead payload, whereas such weaponry is an option on the R-41.
A starfighter developed by the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, the T-Wing never gained much acceptance among pilots. It was a fast craft, but was only armed with 2 laser cannons, and was equipped with weak shielding - 20 SBD primary shields and a hull rated at 15 RU. It was a three-winged ship, with one engine mounted on each wingtip. It was a 10-meter-long ship with a top speed of about 110 MGLT.
The T-wing was originally designed to replace the A-wing in its role as an interceptor. Unfortunately for the pathetic Rebellion, the end result turned out to be worse. The T-wing can be summed up as a poor man's A-wing. Like the A-wing, the T-wing is a very fragile fighter. With shields and hull similar to that of a Z-95 Headhunter's, this craft can not be expected to last long if it is hit by a single devastating blow. Ship's speed is just above that of a TIE Interceptor but slower than the A-wing. Weapons are light with only dual laser cannons. However, the warhead load is equal to that of an X-wing making it a good multi-role fighter. The Rebels only used this fighter for a short time on the frontline and eventually decided to sell it to neutrals hoping to gain a profit. The T-wing quickly proliferated across the galaxy ending up in the hands of many pirate factions and neutral powers. It proved very effective in the hands of the pirate leader Taarak. This fighter was first roughly produced around the time the Magnetic Pulse Torpedo was invented. It continues to be used by neutral factions.
