B-Wing by Chris85 (8/5/2005) 

Credits for the model of this unit goes to Sci-Fi 3-D (http://www.scifi3d.com).  Civilopedia text info from (www.starwars.com).  This unit was created with OpenFX, Anim8or, SBB, Civ3FLCEdit, and PSP.

*NOTE: If this unit is being used as a sea unit, I'd recommend removing B-WingBomb.flc from the .ini file, so the bombard animation doesn't play as a victory animation.

^The Alliance drew many needed supplies by raiding Imperial convoys with their venerated [X-wing] and [Y-wing] starfighters. In response to this piracy, the Empire countered with heavily armed starships -- escort frigates -- protecting their shipments. The Alliance countered with the [B-wing] starfighter. Developed by the insectoid Verpine of the Roche asteroid field, under the supervision of Admiral Ackbar, the [B-wing] starfighter is a bizarre-looking craft. Like other Verpine vessels, the [B-wing] has a complex gyroscopic control system that keeps a pilot along a single orientation during maneuvers. Though this stabilizes the ship as a weapons platform, the gyroscope is an engineering and maintenance nightmare. 
^
^The ship's structure is almost entirely taken up by its primary airfoil, which houses a cylindrical cockpit on one end, an engine cluster in the center, and a heavy weapons pod at its base. Located just below the engine cluster are a pair of S-foils which can deploy to extend the firing arc of twin laser cannons.
^
^The [B-wing carries] an extremely powerful array of weapons, including a heavy ion cannon, proton torpedoes, auto-blasters and a trio of laser cannons. Alternate configurations feature three laser cannons, three ion cannons, and twin torpedo launchers. Since the vessel is designed to engage capital ships, it has phenomonal firepower, but lacks speed and maneuverability. 
^
^[B-wing] fighters figured prominently in the [Battle of Endor].
