R-22 Spearhead starfighter

The R-22 Spearhead starfighter, also known as the Tammuz-an R-22 Spearhead fighter and nicknamed the "A-wing," was a state-of-the-art starfighter prototype developed by the Tammuz-an species as an escort fighter for their space navy. Inspired by the Aurek-class tactical strikefighter, its design was copied by Alliance Underground Engineering and Incom Corporation when they were developing the RZ-1 A-wing interceptor, an evolution of the R-22 Spearhead and Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor.
