Krail, Davish 'Pops' | Gold Squadron (Rebel Alliance) Pilots found that this lightened the frame and kept components cooler, noticeably boosting performance. Due to this, many Y-wings had no hull plating (except on the cockpit), exposing the internals of the main hull. The Y-wing was originally entirely sheathed in an aerodynamic, elegant fuselage, but its high-maintenance nature led to many aggravated maintenance crews getting fed up with constantly having to remove the superficial hull plating and disposing of it altogether. The design had many flaws and required constant maintenance. In addition to the Rebel Alliance, many planetary defense forces, mercenaries, and pirates fielded the craft. Its deficiencies were partly compensated for by the heavy proton torpedo load it could carry, and its ability to paralyze craft with ion cannon fire without destroying them, a unique ability until the B-wing starfighter was introduced after the Battle of Yavin. The Y-wing was a resilient, well-shielded craft, but was slow and ungainly compared to other Alliance fighters. An astromech droid, such as an R2 unit, could be plugged into a socket behind the cockpit to act as a co-pilot and manage the ship's various systems.
Its weaponry included two laser cannons, two ion cannons, and two proton torpedo launchers. Affectionately known as a "wishbone" to Rebel Alliance and New Republic pilots, the Y-wing starfighter was deployed as a fighter-bomber, designed to fight its way to its objective, deliver its payload of high explosives, and fight its way out again. It was often used as an assault bomber to attack enemy capital ships directly in conjunction with the later B-wing starfighters. First used during the Clone Wars, then throughout the Galactic Civil War, it was a mainstay of the Alliance Starfighter Corps. The BTL Y-wing starfighter was a fighter-bomber built by Koensayr Manufacturing. Events: Battle of Yavin, Battle over Endor
