The T-160, dubbed the Hex-wing due to it's
unusual wing configuration is a highly advanced adaptation of the much
older X-wing design. The basic fuselage and configuration is similar to
an X-wing, but two extra wings have been added along with two more laser
cannons to increase firepower by 50%. In addition, more powerful computer
systems and engines have been added to increase performance and reliability
in a combat situation. The maximum top speed has been increased by 30 mglt
for a total of 180 mglt. This increase in speed will allow the Hex-wing
to compete with current TIE craft, while still delivering the devastating
firepower of 6 turbolasers.
