Incom and Slayn &
Korpil teamed up to develop a new Fighter/Interceptor code named
the C-wing by Imperial Intelligence. Extremely fast, this fighter
combined the best qualities of the X-wing and the B-wing fighters
into a design very similar to the A-wing. The C-wing had greater
speed than the X-wing and A-wing and sported a tough hull thanks
to the B-wing. It could easily outperform a TIE Interceptor and
could possibly be a good match for the TIE Defender. Even though
the C-Wing has great durability and unsurpassed speed, it is complimented
with only minimal armament, which is why it has been classified
as an A-Wing. The fuselage of the fighter could easily accomodate
an increased weapons payload, however the 4 fusial thrust engines
draw so much power, that only a limited armament could be afforded
with the little remaining power available. Unfortunately for the
Rebels, the prototype was captured from the Incom main plant, while
all records and plans were destroyed personally by Lord Vader himself,
who also "interrogated" the Incom staff responsible for the C-Wing
project. Without the plans, or a prototype, The Rebels will not
be able to produce any more of this design, or have a chance to
correct the power management problems. If there was some way the
Rebels could have recovered and improved these plans, they would
have had the starfighter advantage in any future engagements with
the Empire. The Empire never produced their own C-wings due to the
cost, and the fact that they already had an advantage with the TIE
Advanced and Defender starfighters.
