Split S
Canon Linked from 2 articles
The Split S was an X-wing starfighter maneuver consisting of making an inverted role, then diving vertically before pulling out in the opposite direction to an enemy fighter in order to disengage from combat. The rebel pilot Barion Raner included the Split S in his X-wing Flight Manual, which was read by many pilots of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. He then used the maneuver to escape from three TIE/ln space superiority starfighters at the Battle of Scarif in 1 BBY.
