The Star Wing's reinforced hull could survive a direct hit from an advanced concussion missile, and several times these craft were able to return home safely despite being badly damaged. Its powerful shields allowed it to engage foes at point blank range, enabling it more opportunity to inflict damage, whereas an unshielded craft would be forced to break off the attack. Its high magazine capacity made it a deadly bomber, as a squadron of Star Wings could penetrate most medium-sized capital ships' shields with a single warhead salvo from each fighter. The fact that it was armed with ion cannons made the Star Wing an ideal choice for capture operations or planetary customs duties. Ī squadron of Xg-1s attacks a Dauntless-class heavy cruiser. It proved very useful in conducting hyperspace raids against convoys and space stations, and also served in a reconnaissance capacity. The Star Wing was equipped with a hyperdrive, which meant that it did not need the support of a Star Destroyer or other starfighter carrier. The starfighter also borrowed the standard reactor design from the TIE series, which, like those fighters, was mounted directly on the tail of the craft. However, it was not particularly fast and had an average level maneuverability, making it mediocre in space superiority. The Xg-1 was a relatively large craft, which enabled it to accommodate a hyperdrive and deflector shields. The standard payload was sixteen concussion missiles, eight per launcher, though depending upon the mission the Star Wing could alternatively carry twelve proton torpedoes, eight heavy rockets, or four heavy space bombs. The Star Wing could also carry the tractor beam weapon developed for the TIE Avenger and newer Imperial starfighters the only known use of this was during Maarek Stele's campaign in the Eva-T system to snare enemy craft. Its armament consisted of two chin mounted laser cannons, two ion cannons above the cockpit, and a pair of general purpose warhead launchers. When in flight position, the wing configuration resembled a flatened five-point star, thus the name "Star Wing". These secondary wings afforded the Xg-1 significantly increased maneuverability over its shuttle counter-part. It had two additional folding wings that protruded diagonally from the side pods, at an angle reflexive to the lateral wings. However, the Xg-1 had a sleeker cockpit and warhead/engine pods along the side of the hull. When landing, the lower wings folded upwards. Like the Lambda shuttle, the Star Wing had a fixed dorsal wing flanked by a pair of lateral folding wings. The 10-meter-long Xg-1 was based on a tri-wing design similar to the Lambda-class shuttle, another craft that Cygnus Spaceworks designed. An Xg-1 Star Wing firing proton torpedoes
