H-Wing Superiority Fighter

The ‘’’H-Wing’’’ design was Admiral Ackbar’s response to the threat of the CIS II. Admiral Ackbar designed a spacecraft with a great variety of weaponry, ranging from flash blasters to seismic charges. Admiral Ackbar designed the ship to counter the Second Separatist movement and strengthen the New Republic military to brace for the impending war.

Design
The H-Wing was built uniquely to support two astromech droids to double efficiency when in-flight repairs were needed. The ship was well-armored, but was a relatively light craft. Four engines were placed at the back of the wide craft, giving it enough thrust to maintain desirable agility and maneuverability.

The craft was wider than it was long. The main body of the ship supported four trapezoidal wings, two painted white and the others painted black. The black wings overlapped the white ones opposite, forming a faint “H” with imagination, though the letter naming was very controversial. The nose of the craft was a rectanglular shape, forty-five degrees rotated from the parallel of the main body. Panels on either side of the cockpit supported shield generators and heavy armor to protect the most crucial functions of the starfighter.

Armament
The H-Wing had two laser cannons as a primary weapon, with an average recharge rate and a fair amount of power. Between the two laser cannons were two mounted flash blasters, on top of the starship’s nose. The flash blasters were made to let the craft target individual troops, in the designed case, battle droids, and were able to fire many times in a fraction of a second. The targeting systems of the flash cannons were superbly accurate and completely automatic. A proton torpedo launcher was placed at the central axis of the craft. Concussion missile launchers, also added onto the craft, were mounted four meters from either side of the cockpit. Two seismic charges, though sub-par compared to those on the ‘’Slave I’’, were on the very front wingtips of the craft. One final weapon system was a flak gun between the two astromech droids, which targeted incoming missiles, buzz droids, and Universal-class Battlemech Droids.

Uses
The starfighter, created on short notice, was a very complicated model, though a great advantage was the controls. The control system was made to have complete similarity to a T-65 X-Wing’s, so X-Wing pilots, among the most common in the New Republic Fleet, was able to learn the feel for the starfighter quickly. Because of the craft’s speed and maneuverability, combined with a great assortment of weaponry, the starfighter could be used in most situations, less stealth. The ship’s engines, though efficient, were easily detected on scopes.

History
Shortly after the Battle of Athloopa, which the media emphasized in great detail, Luke Skywalker contacted the heads of the New Republic military to share the top-secret information on the Second Separatist movement’s plans. Admiral Ackbar responded by declaring the New Republic Fleet should get a new starfighter.

Admiral Ackbar designed a superiority fighter from scratch, and brought it to two shipbuilding organizations to cooperate on: Slayn & Korpil and Incom Corporation. The two companies tinkered with the design and finally produced a starfighter with greater capabilities than any predecessor. They hastily named it the H-Wing, not giving much respect to formal naming.

The H-Wings produced were mostly dealt to the New Jedi Order for Jedi to pilot. More of the ships were mass-produced to be drafted into the New Republic fleets, but production was costly, so most of the military did not see much of the new starfighter at the beginning of the war.

The design became favored by Jaina Solo and other Jedi aces, and proved the design to be adaptable and durable. After the Battle of the Planetary Energy Harvester, the starfighter became a requirement for most squadrons. The H-Wing began seeing popularity, as the weapons assisted greatly in destroying the ‘’Supernova’’. By the time of the Battle of Thule, the starfighter was seen nearly as much as the X-Wing.

However, due to many pilot sticking to tradition and loving the T-65’s all-out universal feel, the H-Wing did not surpass the main starfighters as the most prominent craft.

Behind the Scenes

 * The H-Wing first design was a LEGO figure created by the author of Elite mamaluke, who made it as a custom-built fighter built by Han Solo.
 * After several breaks, add-ons, and modifications by C3PO the Dragon Slayer, the fighter evolved into an “Ackbarian Fleet Ship.” The designer was not discarded, but the name was changed to “H-Wing” due to the fact that the previous name sounded awkward.
 * Other than the original design the H-Wing was based on, the H-Wing was created by C3PO the Dragon Slayer.
