Episodes 4-6

The A-Wing star fighter is the fastest fighter of the Alliance, at first it was designed for escort missions but due to it's speed and manuevrebility it was concidered to be more of a plane that could do hit and run missions. The plane is very difficult to fly and its lack of strong shielding and an astromech droid make it for pilots not the best plane to fly in. And because it needs much manpower to maintain it was almost inpossible for the Rebels to keep even one squadron operational for any lenght of time

The B-Wing fighter was designed by commander Ackbar who bacame an Admiral after the succesfull test with this starfighter. The strange design of this ship makes it possible to have up to 8 weapon enplacements. It has standard laser and ion cannons and even 2 warhead lanchers. This makes it a perfect plane to attack Imperial capital ships. It is just like the A-wing difficult to fly and doesn't have a astromech droid. Due to it's succes the New Rebuplic is testing a newer version of this plane wich has a twin seated cockpit so much of the in-flight stress of fighting and flying at the same time can be put on a pilot and a gunner

This is the Y-wing, the oldest starfighter of the Rebels. This has been the flagship of the Alliance before the X-Wing was introduced. Because of  its age it is no match for any Imperial Starfighter and is therefor manley used for long range patrols and attacks on capitals ships, with X-wing or A-wing support. It can be easily modified for other duties. This plane is been fitted with a astromech driod that can do in-flight repairs, fire control, and store hyperspace escape vectors for fast retreats

This is the X-wing, who got it's name for having the wings (when deployed) in a X shape. When this fighter was introduced it gave the Rebels a major advantage over the Imperial Ties, it is not faster or manuevreble than the Tie but it does have lifesupport and a hyperdrive, so it had a better overall preformence. The laser are at the tip of the wings and they can be set in any firing mode that suits the pilot best. After the Battle of Yavin the Empire knew that this was a fighter is not to be underestamated.

This is the Tie Interceptor, a more advanced fighter then the Tie fighter. The plans for this plane were that it would replace the standerd Tie but after the Emperors death it never happen and the remains of the Empire starded to equip this planes with deflector shield wich they lack just like lifesupport and a hyperdrive engine.
This plane was construced to out-maneuver every Rebel fighter and it did.

The standard Tie fighter was build for speed so it lacked life support, hyperdrive and deflector schields.
The name Tie means Twin Ion Engine and that is the engine they used in every Tie serie made. It is armed with 2 linked laser cannons wich are fitted under the cockpit. This plane cannot operate without the support of a base like a Star Destroyer or a space station. To overwelm enemy forces they relied on there greater numbers.

The Tie Bomber is an effectieve weapon against enemy capital ships, space stations and orbital installations. This is the only Tie that has a life support. The targeting computers are so precise that they can take out one target without even damaging the surrounding buildings.
The Tie bomber can be found on almost every Imperial installation across Imperial space.

These are the fighters that are being used Alliance and the Empire. The fighter on the left are Alliance fighters and the one on the right are Imperial.

This is Darth Vaders personel starfighter. This was de only fighter fitted with a defelctor shield generator and hyperdrive throughout the Imperial Navy. The overall preformence of this fighter wasn't all that good, it was just a little bit faster than the standard Tie. This due to the shield generators and the armour plating.
