Designed by <Lookup (\"Dodo\");@General Jan Dodonna> to outrun any ship in the Imperial Navy, the A-wing is equipped with two Novaldex J-77 \"Event Horizon\" engines. In addition, the ship has especially powerful avionics, including a power-jamming system that allows pilots to blind enemy targets prior to attack. While originally intended for escort duty, the A-wing has proved more adept at hit-and-run missions, targeting enemy sites and spacecraft with its twin, wing-mounted pivoting blaster cannons and concussion missiles. \r\n\r\nUnfortunately, despite its speed and agility, the A-wing is relatively vulnerable in dogfights. The position of the cockpit and the craft's lack of shielding exposes the pilot to enemy fire, and <Lookup (\"Rebels\");@Rebels> who dare to take control of the vehicle must rely heavily on its maneuverability and ability to elude pursuit.\r\n\r\nThe A-wing suffers from other drawbacks as well. Because its controls are so sensitive, few pilots can handle the craft. Because these ships have an extremely high maintenance-to-flight ratio, the Alliance has found it extremely difficult to keep a squadron of A-wings operational for any length of time. Finally, the A-wing lacks room for an <Lookup (\"astrom\");@astromech droid>, which can provide in-flight repairs, <Lookup (\"hypersp\");@hyperspace> coordinates, and flight adjustments on other starfighters."

The B-wing succeeded, and the <Lookup (\"Rebell\");@Rebellion> commissioned a full squadron of the starfighters.\r\n\r\nIntegral to the B-wing's success is its adaptability: the craft's eight weapon mounting emplacements are interchangeable modules, allowing Alliance mechanics to easily reconfigure each ship's complement of weapons depending upon the pilot's preferences and mission requirements. The B-wing's incredible performance played a part in Ackbar's promotion to Admiral, and led the way for the <Lookup (\"Rebel All\");@Rebel Alliance's> attack on the second <Lookup (\"Death Star II\");@Death Star> at the <Lookup (\"Endor, Bat\");@Battle of Endor>. \r\n\r\nAlways heavily armed, the B-wing's primary mission profile usually involves attacks on much larger Imperial ships.

The airspeeders were originally used by the Alliance on less hostile worlds, where they used their power harpoons to tow cargo modules and served as a line of defense against Imperial ground troops. The vehicles are fitted with heavy armor plating and twin laser cannons, and are powered by a pair of repulsorlift drive units and high-powered afterburners. Reaching speeds of over 1,000 kilometers per hour, the Rebel craft are exceedingly difficult to target.\r\n\r\nThe Incom T-47's crew consists of a pilot and a gunner, who sit with their backs to one another. While the gunner is facing the rear of the craft, he can utilize computerized targeting systems to control the forward-facing laser cannons. The gunner also mans the power harpoon, although the pilot can assume responsibility for all weaponry if the gunner is disabled.\r\n\r\nOn Hoth, the Rebels found that the T-47 was hindered by the elements and had to receive further modifications. Ice build-up on the braking and turning flaps made it impossible to control the craft, while the engine had a tendency to freeze solid. To solve these problems, the Rebel mechanics installed repulsor-coil heaters in the engines, and attached deicing nozzles to the mechanical maneuvering flaps. Once the \"snowspeeders\" were airborne, however, they proved successful in delaying the oncoming Imperial troops until the Rebels had escaped.\r\n\r\nWhile snowspeeders are the most recognizable Rebel airspeeders, the Alliance has modified the T-47 to serve on a variety of worlds. Sandspeeders include advanced filters preventing sand from clogging the engine and steering flaps, cockpit and engine cooling systems to combat overheating, and sensitive radar navigational guidance systems for use in sandstorms. Swampspeeders have been thoroughly waterproofed and are equipped with flotation devices, while skyspeeders have pressurized cabins for high altitude flights."

		"long_description": "The [Imperial I]-class Star Destroyer, the most prominent symbol of the <Lookup (\"Empire\");@Empire's> might, is an engineering marvel developed by <Lookup (\"Kuat Drive\");@Kuat Drive Yards> (KDY) exclusively for Imperial forces. However, the concept of a massive, highly destructive starship was first researched during the <Lookup (\"Clone W\");@Clone Wars>. Shortly after that conflict ended, a Republic engineer built the <Lookup (\"Vic\");@[Victory]-class Star Destroyer>, which was, at 900 meters, the largest vessel ever constructed. Unfortunately, the [Victory]-class ships were fairly slow and relied upon their ten tractor beams to gain an advantage in combat. The early Destroyers required a crew of more than 5,000, but could carry 2,040 ground troops, 24 <Lookup (\"TIE f\");@TIE fighters>, and a host of vehicles ranging from <Lookup (\"All terrain arm\");@AT-AT> walkers to floating fortresses. Along with its tractor beams, the starship was armed with 10 quad <Lookup (\"turbolas\");@turbolasers>, 40 double turbolasers, and 80 concussion missile launchers. The [Victory]-class Star Destroyer was originally assigned to planetary defense, planetary assault, and starship combat, but its lack of speed prevented it from chasing down most Rebel ships.\r\n\r\nEarly in the <Lookup (\"Galactic Civ\");@Galactic Civil War>, KDY expanded upon the [Victory]-class Star Destroyer to create the impressive [Imperial I]-class Destroyer. The most important design innovation was the decision to replace the starship's energy source with <Lookup (\"Sienar\");@Sienar Fleet System's> I-a2b solar ionization reactor, a power generator unequaled by anything ever produced. Essentially a tiny sun, the SFS I-a2b can fuel a Destroyer's <Lookup (\"hyperdrive\");@hyperdrive> systems, weaponry, sublight drives, computers, and life-support systems at maximum levels and still retain a substantial energy reserve. The reactor is encased in a heavily shielded dome, constructed of <Lookup (\"duras\");@durasteel> and <Lookup (\"carboni\");@carbonite>, located on the Destroyer's ventral surface.\r\n\r\nGiven the Star Destroyer's staggering reactor, the KDY designers were allowed to outfit the starship with an obscene number of weapons. Unlike the [Victory], the [Imperial I]-class Star Destroyer's primary function is ship-to-ship combat in deep space. For this purpose, the vessel is armed with 60 incredibly powerful Taim & Bak XX-9 turbolasers, each equipped with advanced LeGrange computer-assisted targeting technology for use against starfighters. The [Imperial I] is also meant for pursuit-and-capture operations, such as the acquisition of <Lookup (\"Solo, P\");@Princess Leia's> <Lookup (\"Corellian corv\");@Corellian corvette>, <Lookup (\"Tant\");@[Tantive IV]>. These missions are accomplished with the aid of 60 Borstel NK-7 <Lookup (\"ion can\");@ion cannons>, each capable of disabling an enemy vessel without causing substantial damage. Helpless starships are then trapped by one of the Star Destroyer's ten Phylon Q7 tractor beam projectors and drawn into a large ventral landing bay designed to accommodate vessels up to 150 meters long.\r\n\r\nThe primary landing bay houses the bulk of the Star Destroyer's starships. Each Star Destroyer always carries a full wing of 72 TIE fighters of varying design. Standard allocation consists of three <Lookup (\"TIE/ln\");@TIE/ln> fighter squadrons, two <Lookup (\"TIE int\");@TIE interceptor> squadrons, and one <Lookup (\"TIE b\");@TIE bomber> squadron. The TIEs assist during combat and are used for perimeter defense, system patrol, reconnaissance, and planetary assault. The landing bay also carries eight [Lambda]-class <Lookup (\"Imperial shut\");@Imperial shuttles>, dozens of deep-space probes, several Skipray Blastboats, and an assortment of [Gamma]-class assault shuttles.\r\n\r\nA secondary bay is used to launch ground assaults. The Star Destroyer's 15 <Lookup (\"storm\");@stormtrooper> transports, 20 AT-AT walkers, 30 <Lookup (\"all terrain scou\");@AT-ST> scout walkers, and numerous landing barges are contained in this area. In addition, each Star Destroyer is assigned 9,700 ground troops. For long-term occupations, the vessel can deploy prefabricated garrisons manned by 800 stormtroopers, ten AT-ATs, 10 AT-STs, and forty TIE fighters.\r\n\r\nA Star Destroyer's nerve center is the bridge, located atop a huge command tower jutting upward from the starship's superstructure. Navigation, weaponry, defenses, troop and starfighter deployment, tactical maneuvers, and hyperspace jumps are all controlled from the bridge. Normally, the Star Destroyer's captain can be found on the bridge overseeing a cadre of officers, while controllers and various Imperial specialists work in computer-laden pits recessed in the  bridge's floor. The bridge is topped by a pair of large domes that generate the starship's powerful <Lookup (\"deflector\");@deflector shields>.\r\n\r\nIn all, a Star Destroyer requires a crew of 4,520 officers and 32,565 enlisted crew members to operate at peak efficiency. Much of the starship's interior is thus consumed by personal quarters and recreational facilities for this huge staff. Rooms are also provided for the ground troops and visiting dignitaries.\r\n\r\nDespite their grandeur, [Imperial I]-class Star Destroyers are not equipped with any recycling facilities. Waste materials, debris, and damaged or outdated equipment are therefore simply ejected into space. This creates great danger for local shipping lanes.\r\n\r\nIn the months leading up to the <Lookup (\"Yavin, Bat\");@Battle of Yavin>, the [Imperial I]-class Star Destroyer became the Empire's most frequently used capital ship.  As more [Imperial I]-class Star Destroyers were built, the older [Victory] Star Destroyers were reserved solely for planetary defense. A vast quantity were eventually decommissioned and sold to independent planetary defense forces, including the <Lookup (\"Corporate Sector\");@Corporate Sector> Authority, which purchased 250 of the ships.\r\n\r\nThe [Imperial I]'s reign was short-lived, however. Only months after the original <Lookup (\"Death\");@Death Star> was destroyed, KDY introduced the [Imperial II]-class Star Destroyer, which has a stronger hull, more competent shields, increased firepower, and fully twice the hyperspace capability of its predecessor. The [Imperial II] was followed soon after by the Super Star Destroyer, a behemoth some 12,800 meters long. Five times more destructive than previous Star Destroyers, Super Star Destroyers, such as <Lookup (\"Vad\");@Darth Vader's> flagship <Lookup (\"Exec\");@[Executor]>, were believed to be the pinnacle of starship construction. But six years after the birth of the <Lookup (\"New Rep\");@New Republic>, the galaxy was terrorized by a mammoth [Eclipse]-class Star Destroyer. The [Eclipse] was 17,500 meters long, over ten times larger than a standard [Imperial II]-class Star Destroyer. Its hull was jet black and it was armed with well over 1,000 weapons, making it one of the most horrifying starships ever constructed.\r\n\r\nBetween <Lookup (\"Palp\");@Emperor Palpatine's> rise and his death at the <Lookup (\"Endor, Bat\");@Battle of Endor>, the Empire built more than 25,000 Star Destroyers. Half of these were held in reserve within the <Lookup (\"Galactic Core\");@Galactic Core>, where they protected vital military and industrial complexes. However, an equal number were deployed throughout the galaxy to spread fear and enforce the Emperor's will. In fact, most known sectors of space were, at one point, assigned a Sector Group of 24 Star Destroyers. Each Sector Group was responsible for maintaining an iron rule over the planets and systems within its designated sector. Usually, the mere presence of such a huge force ensured compliance, but the Star Destroyers could also lead huge planetary invasions.\r\n\r\nAfter the fall of the Empire and the rise of the New Republic, <Lookup (\"Thrawn\");@Grand Admiral Thrawn> found that the Imperial fleet was sorely lacking in capital ships. The majority of the [Imperial I] and [Imperial II]-class Star Destroyers had been destroyed or stolen, and very few Super Star Destroyers had been produced. To turn the tide, Thrawn reclaimed and recommissioned a huge number of [Victory]-class Star Destroyers for use in his bid for power. After Thrawn's defeat, the Empire struggled, but continued to produce a wide range of Star Destroyers, including the [Eclipse] and other even more devastating starships."

The TIE/Ln incorporates the same advanced Twin Ion Engines (TIE) design created by Sienar for a starfighter then known as the T.I.E. The engine configuration in the TIE/Ln requires very little fuel, but provides the TIE with incredible speed and agility, allowing it to outrun the majority of Rebel craft, save the <Lookup (\"A-win\");@A-wing>.\r\n\r\nBecause it relies solely on speed, every aspect of the TIE fighter's design is concerned with reducing the vehicle's weight. With this in mind, heavy shield generators and thick armor plating have been abandoned. Thus, the TIE fighter is extremely vulnerable to enemy fire. Fortunately, the small cockpit and the ship's increased mobility make the craft exceptionally difficult to target.\r\n\r\nIn the quest to decrease the TIE's weight still further, bulky hyperdrive and life-support systems have also been omitted. The TIE is stocked with meager rations, capable of sustaining the pilot for about two days, and carries very little fuel. In combat, a TIE requires refueling every few hours. Given these limitations, TIE fighters are strictly short-range craft and must rely on a home base, usually a <Lookup (\"star des\");@Star Destroyer>, orbiting space station, or planetary hangar. In addition, <Lookup (\"TIE fighter pil\");@TIE pilots>, who are often considered suicidal by other Imperials, must wear fully-sealed flight suits complete with self-contained oxygen supplies and atmosphere converters.  \r\n\r\nThe TIE fighter's energy consumption and power generators have been designed to be extremely efficient as well. The starship's array wings collect solar radiation and transfer the energy to the massive power generators, which account for most of the TIE fighter's mass, and numerous batteries spread throughout the vehicle. The pair of forward-mounted, fire-linked <Lookup (\"laser can\");@laser cannons> are powered by separate generators located in the undercarriage of the command pod. \r\n\r\nThe interior cockpit design is spartan yet elegant in its simplicity. The pilot is strapped into a small high-gee shock couch and is further protected by a crude repulsorlift antigravity field and crash webbing. The pilot's feet are inserted into control yokes responsible for maneuvering and adjusting speed. A hand-yoke located directly in front of the pilot controls the TIE's laser cannons, targeting computer, and navigation computer. The hand-yoke also allows for subtle shifts in speed and heading. However, the TIE is extremely sensitive to pilot adjustments. Inexperienced TIE pilots can easily lose control of the craft during complex maneuvers and find themselves hurtling through space. In addition, novice pilots often find it difficult to use the hand-yoke to simultaneously maneuver and fire, although TIE veterans eventually learn to push the starship to its limits.\r\n\r\nImperial use of TIE fighters has always emphasized overwhelming an opponent. It has been said that for every TIE fighter shot down, a thousand more will rise up in its place. TIE fighters are found at virtually every Imperial installation, from the smallest planetary base to massive space stations. Imperial Star Destroyers carry a full complement of seventy-two TIEs, while 7,000 of these starfighters were housed aboard the first <Lookup (\"death\");@Death Star>. During the height of the Empire's power, Sienar Fleet Systems was mass-producing TIE fighters on a staggering scale, manufacturing thousands of the starships on an annual basis. Cadets graduating from the various Imperial academies were vigorously pursued by recruiters and dropped into TIE fighters, where a great many lost their lives.\r\n\r\nDeemed expendable by Imperial tacticians, the TIE fighter's primary mission profile includes attacks on Rebel vessels, as well as raids against pirate craft, alien starships, space stations, and other targets. TIE fighters are also frequently assigned to convoy duty and are often ordered to protect cruisers or planetary bases from Rebel forces. In their secondary capacity, TIE fighters escort <Lookup (\"TIE b\");@TIE bombers> and assist in assaults on planetary bases. TIE fighters are usually deployed in squadrons, each consisting of twelve individual starships. A full TIE fighter wing is composed of six squadrons, or seventy-two ships. \r\n\r\nAfter the success of the basic TIE fighter, Sienar Fleet Systems designed numerous TIE variants for specific mission profiles. Among the most successful models are the TIE bomber and the original TIE fighter's successor, the <Lookup (\"TIE i\");@TIE interceptor>. Other designs include the <Lookup (\"TIE/rc\");@TIE/rc>, a typical TIE fighter stocked with advanced sensor arrays and communications devices for use in reconnaissance, which was then followed by the more effective <Lookup (\"TIE scout\");@TIE scout>, and finally by the heavily shielded <Lookup (\"TIE van\");@TIE vanguard>.

Finally, steering port deflectors can be manipulated individually for fine control and counterbalancing during especially trying maneuvers.\r\n\r\nUnlike virtually all other TIEs, the interceptor wields four laser cannons. Placed at the end points of each wing, these weapons provide the pilot with a wide field of fire. The pilot is further aided by advanced targeting software. Unfortunately, these advances are small consolation when the interceptor receives a direct hit from an enemy vessel, as the fragile starfighter lacks armor plating and shields. For this reason, interceptor pilots must rely on their maneuverability and superior numbers during most engagements. Interceptor pilots must also wear sealed flight suits and remain within range of large capital ships or space stations. \r\n\r\nDuring the latter half of the <Lookup (\"Galactic Civ\");@Galactic Civil War>, the Empire intended the TIE interceptor to eventually replace the standard TIE fighter. Yet, by the death of the Emperor at the <Lookup (\"Endor, Bat\");@Battle of Endor>, only about 20% of Imperial fighters were interceptors. As Imperial funds dwindled and all fighters became scarce, <Lookup (\"Thrawn\");@Grand Admiral Thrawn> realized that the Empire could no longer consider the interceptors disposable and thus began equipping the exceptional ships with <Lookup (\"deflector shield\");@deflector shields>."

		"long_description": "The T-65 X-wing was the last starship designed by <Lookup (\"Incom Corp\");@Incom Corporation> before the company was nationalized by the <Lookup (\"Empire\");@Empire>. Angry and frustrated over Incom's sudden seizure by Imperial forces, the company's senior design team plotted to defect. With the aid of a crack Rebel commando team, the X-wing's creators fled Incom and joined the <Lookup (\"Rebell\");@Rebellion>, bringing along the plans and prototypes for the new starfighter. The defection was a major loss for the Empire and provided the Rebellion with their first great technological advance. The Alliance began producing the X-wing in modest numbers, and the starship quickly proved one of the most effective military vehicles in the galaxy.\r\n\r\nThe T-65's unusual wing design is often credited for the starship's success. The double-layered wings remain closed during normal sublight space travel, but can be deployed in combat and whenever the craft enters a planet's atmosphere. Each wing tip has a high-powered Taim & Bak KX9 <Lookup (\"laser can\");@laser cannon>, which can be fired individually, simultaneously, in pairs, or any other combination. \r\n\r\nThe starship's weaponry also includes two Krupx MG7 <Lookup (\"proton tor\");@proton torpedo> launchers located near the middle of the fighter's frame. Each launcher carries three proton torpedoes identical to those <Lookup (\"Skywalker, Luk\");@Luke> fired into a thermal exhaust port to destroy the first <Lookup (\"Death\");@Death Star>.\r\n\r\nAnother stroke of genius in the T-65's design is the intentional use of controls that are nearly identical to those on the <Lookup (\"t-16\");@T-16 skyhopper> and similar <Lookup (\"airspee\");@airspeeders>. Most of the Alliance's pilots hail from numerous frontier worlds, where these future Rebels honed their skills on inexpensive, durable craft such as the skyhopper. Because the X-wing's controls were so familiar, idealistic pilots such as Luke, <Lookup (\"Darklighter, b\");@Biggs Darklighter>, and <Lookup (\"Pork\");@Jek Porkins> had little trouble adapting to their new starships.\r\n\r\nLike many other starfighters, the X-wing requires only one pilot. However, a special socket behind the cockpit houses an Industrial Automaton <Lookup (\"R2 unit\");@R2> astromech droid that functions much like a copilot. While in flight and during combat, the droid is responsible for astrogation, navigation, damage control, and flight adjustments. The R2 unit can also pilot the fighter in an emergency. All <Lookup (\"astromec\");@astromechs> assigned to X-wings carry up to ten jump coordinates in the event the starship needs to quickly escape into <Lookup (\"hyperspace\");@hyperspace>.\r\n\r\nOne of the X-wing's greatest assets is its durability. The fighter's reinforced titanium alloy hull, Chempat deflector-screen and <Lookup (\"defelctor shield\");@deflector shield> projectors, and transparisteel canopy ensure that it can withstand several hits without suffering serious damage. Minor malfunctions caused by enemy fire can usually be repaired within minutes by the on-board astromech. However, in the event of disabling damage, the pilot can deploy the ship's ejection system.\r\n\r\nAlong with its other considerable strengths, the X-wing possesses a moderately powerful Novaldex 04-Z power generator capable of sustaining the starship's shields and weapons at full strength for the duration of most combats. Although the X-wing is not nearly as maneuverable or as fast as its chief opponent, the Imperial <Lookup (\"tie f\");@TIE fighter>, it does come equipped with full life-support systems and a respectable Koensayr R300-H <Lookup (\"hyperdrive\");@hyperdrive>, both vital features that the TIE lacks. \r\n\r\nX-wing squadrons are identified by the series of colored stripes on the wings of the vehicles. Luke's X-wing, for example, was designated <Lookup (\"Red Five\");@Red Five> at the <Lookup (\"Yavin, Bat\");@Battle of Yavin> and had five red stripes visible on its wings.

		"long_description": "Born three years after the destruction of the first <Lookup (\"Death\");@Death Star>, the second monstrous Imperial battle station was intended to be larger and far more deadly than its predecessor. To achieve this twisted goal, Imperial designers armed Death Star II with a much improved <Lookup (\"superlaser\");@superlaser> capable of recharging more quickly, firing with greater accuracy, and delivering more damage than the original weapon. In fact, the precision targeting systems aboard the second Death Star allowed superlaser gunners to target capital ships. In addition to its numerous weapons, an armored 100-story tower, topped by the <Lookup (\"Palp\");@Emperor's> private observation chamber, stood at its north pole. \r\n\r\nHowever, while Death Star II was designed as a weapon of terror, it was also meant to serve as part of the Emperor's elaborate plan to trap the Rebels and destroy the Alliance. He put his scheme into motion by allowing <Lookup (\"Bothan\");@Bothan> spies to learn of the second Death Star, but he planted evidence that suggested the superlaser was not yet operational. As the Emperor had predicted, the Alliance commanders knew that they had to attack the partially completed space station before it became an even greater threat.\r\n\r\nWhen <Lookup (\"Solo, H\");@Han Solo's> Rebel commandos stormed Death Star II's shield generator complex on the forest moon of <Lookup (\"Endor\");@Endor>, the Emperor's forces were prepared. The Imperials captured the Rebels even as the Alliance fleet prepared to attack the space station. At their darkest hour, the Alliance commanders discovered that the shield had not been disabled and the superlaser was, in fact, fully operational.\r\n\r\nHowever, yet again the Imperials underestimated the threats arrayed against them. The <Lookup (\"Ewoks\");@Ewoks>, furry creatures totally disregarded by the Empire, rescued Han Solo's strike team, allowing the commandos to complete their mission. Once the deflector shield dropped, leaving the Death Star unprotected, <Lookup (\"Calr\");@Lando Calrissian> and <Lookup (\"Nunb, N\");@Nien Nunb> piloted the <Lookup (\"Mill\");@[Millennium Falcon]> into the heart of the space station.
