B-wing heavy assault starfighters were a type of heavy assault starfighter used primarily as an attack vessel against capital ships and escorting other fighter squadrons and convoys.[2]
History[]
The B-wing starfighter was originally designed by the Mon Calamari Quarrie, who was convinced by Hera Syndulla to let the rebel group Phoenix Squadron use his creation to fight against the Galactic Empire.[8] During the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance used A/SF-01 B-wing starfighters in many battles, including the Battle of Endor.[3] The New Republic used them at the Battle of Jakku.[9] During the First Order-Resistance War, the Resistance used a newer variant at the Battle of Exegol.[7]
