The X-wing Starfighter is a vehicle from the Star Wars series. It appeared in the 85th episode of DBX, X-Wing VS Arwing, where it fought against Fox McCloud and an Arwing from the Star Fox series.
History
The X-Wing was descended from Incom Corporation's Clone Wars-era starfighters, namely the Aggressive ReConnaissance-170, Clone Z-95 Headhunter, and Z-95 Headhunter. Incom's engineers strove to build a well-rounded, hyperdrive-equipped snubfighter with no exploitable weakness. The new starfighter was intended to become the backbone of the Imperial Navy, but political forces led to the Galactic Empire deciding to rely on Sienar Fleet Systems' more affordable TIE line. The Rebel Alliance then adopted the X-Wing design as its own. They were designed for dogfighting and long missions and were heavily armed with four laser cannons on the S-foils and proton torpedo launchers in the fuselage. During the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance used X-Wing models like the T-65B and T-65C-A2 in many battles, including such as the Attack on Lothal, the Battle of Yavin, the Battle of Endor, and the Battle of Jakku, cementing the X-Wing's legacy as a symbol of hope and rebellion.
