X-wing fighter[]
The most popular model of X-wing fighter is the T-65 X-wing starfighter, which was developed by the Incom Corporation. These small snub vessels accompanied one-pilot and an astromech droid to assist with navigation and routine repairs and maintenance. The ship was equipped with one proton torpedo cannon and four quad-laser cannons. A squadron of T-65 X-wing fighters were deployed during the Battle of Yavin, delivering surgical strikes along the trench path of the Death Star. All but two ships from Red Squadron were destroyed in the battle. One ship, piloted by Wedge Antilles, was heavily damaged and forced to return to base on Yavin. The last remaining ship, piloted by Luke Skywalker succeeded in delivering the kill-shot that destroyed the Death Star.
