Possessing deflector shields, a hyperdrive, an R2 astromech for repairs and navigation, and a complement of proton torpedoes, the X-wing allowed the Rebellion to launch raids in Imperial space with improved odds of a successful mission. Known for its versatility and exceptional combat performance, it was a favorite with Rebel and New Republic pilots. The Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter was the primary all-purpose starfighter of the Rebel Alliance and its successor governments. An almost perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and defensive shielding make it the fighter of choice for Rogue Squadron.' ― General Carlist Rieekan
' The Incom T-65 X-wing is the fighter that killed the Death Star.
