X-wing T-65XJ3 Starfighter

The T-65XJ3 was developed as an offshoot of the T-65XJ during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. the starfighter’s design implemented a number of technical changes that were designed to give it an edge against the bizarre technology utilized by the Yuuzhan Vong. As such, it represents the pinnacle of starship design, and it is a favorite of Jedi starfighter pilots.

Capabilities

Compared to the earlier T-65XJ, the XJ3 incorporated shield capacity, backup shield generators, more efficient fire control, and improved maneuverability. The backup shield generators allow a pilot to recharge his shields at twice the normal rate, increasing the current shield rating by 10 points, up to the XJ3’ normal maximum of 30.

The starfighter’s weaponry has likewise been upgraded, including wing mounted heavy laser cannons and three proton torpedo tubes armed with four heavy proton torpedoes apiece. Further, the laser cannons are “stutter-fire” capable, allowing them to bypass the dovin basal defenses used by Yuuzhan Vong vessels. A Yuuzhan Vong ship’s doin basals provide only half shield rating when defending against stutter-fire lasers.
