     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.
