My Rogue Squadron Pictures
Some Star Wars pictures first are the Rebels then the Imperials |

"The Hanger"
|
X-Wing
Named for its unique double-layered wings, or S-foils, this ship is one of the most versatile weapons in the Rebel Alliance. In combat, its S-foils are opened to give it greater maneuverability. These S-foils are closed during normal flight, so it can fly faster while still pulling off advanced aerobatics such as rolls. The X-wing is formidably armed, with high-powered blaster cannons in its wing tips, plus proton torpedo launchers on its main space-frame. With its reinforced titanium alloy hull and high-powered shield generators, the X-wing can take a barrage of minor hits and still keep flying. |

A-Wing
This is the fastest starfighter in the Rebel Alliance. The A-wing can outrun most ships in the Imperial Navy, making it ideal for Rogue Squadron’s hit-and-run missions. Its powerful armament includes twin wing-mounted pivoting blaster cannons and concussion missiles. Although the A-wing is highly maneuverable in dogfights, it cannot sustain much battle damage, and its cockpit design exposes its pilot to enemy fire. |
Y-Wing
A cross between a fighter and a bomber, the Y-wing formed the backbone of the Rebel Alliance starfighter fleet prior to the introduction of the X-wing. The workhorse Y-wing is larger, slower, and less maneuverable than the X-wing, and has difficulty against the more agile Imperial craft. However, it is extremely durable, and heavily armed with blasters, an ion cannon, and bombs, making it ideal for bombing and strafing runs against surface targets. |

Snow Speeder
A nickname for the Incom T-47, this craft made a valiant defense at the Battle of Hoth against Imperial forces, enabling the Rebels to evacuate their base. An airspeeder is limited to low altitudes, is unable to perform elaborate acrobatic maneuvers such as rolls, and has no shields. It compensates for this with fast speed and small size that make it a difficult target for Imperial weapons. This craft is armed with two blaster cannons, plus a tow cable to tangle AT-ATs. |
V-Wing
With its light weight and swift speed, the V-wing has a definite advantage over the airspeeder (Snow Speeder). It features a scram jet and a huge booster. Use the scram jet and weapons sparingly, or the engines will overheat. |

TIE-Fighters

Hover Train
With cars heavily defended by numerous gun emplacements and missile turrets, strafing runs against this mobile target are difficult at best |
|

AT-AT
Short for All Terrain Armored Transport, the four-legged Imperial walker strikes terror in the heart of any defender. This mechanized beast is armed with blaster cannons underneath its "chin" and medium blasters on each side of its "head," and has thick armor plating to protect it from most types of artillery fire. Try to wrap a tow cable around the "legs" of an AT-AT with a airspeeder to bring this behemoth down. |
AT-PT
Short for All Terrain Personal Transport, this small, two-legged weapons system has the ability to climb up 45-degree mountains and hills. The AT-PT houses one or two soldiers, surrounding them with thick, heavy armor in its central command pod. It is armed with a twin-blaster cannon. |

Imperial Landing Craft
This heavily armored assault ship devotes two-thirds of its power to its shields, making it extremely difficult to destroy. |
TIE Fighter
Powered by twin ion engines, a TIE fighter’s advantages are its excellent maneuverability and its small profile, which makes it a difficult target to hit. However, these advantages come at a steep price, since it has no shields, no hyperdrive systems, and no other weapons besides forward-mounted blaster cannons. A direct hit on one can usually destroy it. |

|
TIE Inteceptor
This dagger-shaped starfighter is more than a match for the Rebel craft, since it’s nearly as fast as an A-wing and more maneuverable than an X-wing. The TIE interceptor’s weapons include four blaster cannons with advanced targeting software for greater accuracy. Since the TIE interceptor has little armor and no shield generators, it can easily be destroyed with a few direct hits. |
Tank Droid
Designed to stop civil unrest on Imperial worlds, this fully automated combat vehicle driven by a droid brain is a brutal urban assault machine. |
