Many of these elements receive backstories from writers of the extended universe. Things like a background character or a vehicle that appears for a split second have extensive Wookieepedia articles. It is unknown what helmets were used by other V-Wing pilots in eras following the Clone Wars.Star Wars is notorious for its level of detail and worldbuilding that we barely notice at times.
These helmets, along with their flight suits, were fully sealed due to the lack of a life support system.
The clone troopers who flew the fighter had specially adapted helmets. V-wing pilots were often assisted by spherical Q7-series astromech droids which provided in-flight navigation and maintenance skills that would otherwise require a copilot-which the compact V-wing could not accommodate.Īs the V-wing starfighter was too small to feature an integrated hyperdrive, it required a transportation into combat zones by carriers such as the Venator-class Star Destroyer. In keeping with the design of the Delta-7, the Alpha-3 featured an astromech droid socket aft of the oval cockpit. These flaps also provided some protection for the V-wing's clone pilot. Nestled between each wing and the hull were two twin laser cannons, which could swivel on the vessel's wing hubs to provide a wide range of fire.Īft of the starfighter's main hull were two deflector shield heat sinks, located above the two vertically stacked ion drive thrusters. The V-wings also featured folding wing radiators similar to those fitted on the later Eta-2 interceptors. The V-wing had wing mounted laser cannons and had a wedge shape. It was manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering, the same company responsible for both the Delta-7 fighter and its successor, the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor.īoth the Delta-7 and the Alpha-3 models were designed by the engineer Walex Blissex, who would later co-design the Rebel Alliance's A-wing fighter with Jan Dodonna. The Alpha-3 Nimbus-class starfighter was a sturdy, wedge-shaped starfighter similar to the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class interceptors employed by the Jedi Order. The pilot is required to have reached tier 4 before being able to fly this ship. The V-wing is a ship obtained as a No-Trade deed, at the very end of the Nova Orion Station quest line.
