Canon Linked from 268 articles

The A-wing Starfighter, also referred to as A-wing, was a type of starfighter. During the Early rebellion against the Galactic Empire and the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the New Republic used the RZ-1 A-wing interceptor. Approximately thirty years later, the type's successor, the RZ-2 A-wing interceptor, was used by the Resistance during the First Order-Resistance War.
