It lacks sufficient internal volume to house
more advanced systems and control boxes
and was therefore only produced by the
field-conversion of some redundant S3s
until the advent of the specially designed
BTL-E9.
The E5 was deployed some months before
the Battle of Yavin.
# The Y-wing mark II
The original Y-wing was a potent craft
able to endure and deliver tremendous
punishment, but it was not as fast,
maneuverable or heavily armed as modern
starfighters.
To rectify those problems some of the best
technicians in the Alliance formed a
special task group specifically dedicated to
upgrading the Y-wing.
The main goal to achieve was to increase
survivability, while maintaining the basic
versatility of the original Y-wing design.
By installing more powerful sub-light
engines (made possible by the addition of
an extra ion coil to the R200 Ion Jet
Engine), did the space speed increase by
over 10 percent.
Reconfigured steering plates and disk
vectrals enhanced maneuverability, while
the hull gained more blast resistant outer
layers.
The original sensor array was replaced by
the more powerful one used by the X-
wing, which simplified production and
increased the availability of spare parts.
The recon variant received an improved
version of the A4 sensors, while the wild
11
weasel variant got the most sophisticated
sensor equipment of them all.
To improve its offensive capability, the
original Taim & Bak laser cannons was
replaced by a new, improved version,
which substantially increased the damage
rating.
The ion cannon was not replaced, since the
basic design was considered to be good
enough.
The proton torpedo launchers were heavily
modified. The magazine capacity was
increased and steps taken to reduce the
time necessary to reload.
Externally the Y-wing II looks slightly
different from the original Y-wing. The
sub-light engines are a bit longer, although
the support pylons have been shortened, so
the length of the Y-wing is still 16 meters.
In addition, the housing for the proton
torpedoes has been elongated in order to
take the increased magazine.
The Y-wing II replaced the original Y-
wing on the production lines between the
Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor.
During the early days of the New Republic
some of the older Y-wing´s was upgraded
to the new standard, but the majority were
sold, scrapped or relegated to planetary
defense roles. Instead, the Y-wing mark II
took over majority of the roles performed
by the original Y-wing., while the rest was
performed by newer starfighter designs.
