U-wing

Ships

The U-wing, officially designated as the Incom UT-60D, is a versatile starfighter and transport ship deployed by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Known for its distinctive swinging S-foils, which could be positioned forward for enhanced maneuverability and retract backward for high-speed travel, the U-wing played a crucial role in both combat and support missions. Its design incorporates elements that optimize it for rapid troop insertion and extraction, making it ideal for special operations. Additionally, it is equipped with powerful laser cannons and a sturdy hull capable of withstanding significant damage, providing both offensive and defensive capabilities.

One of the most significant appearances of the U-wing is in the 2016 film "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," where it is prominently used by the Rebel squadron tasked with stealing the Death Star Plans. Piloted by characters such as Cassian Andor and Bodhi Rook, the U-wing demonstrates its effectiveness in various combat scenarios and its importance in Rebel strategy. Its spacious interior allows it to transport multiple troops and cargo, offering a level of versatility that is rare among starships of its class. The U-wing's combination of firepower, speed, and transport capacity makes it a vital asset for the Rebel Alliance in their fight against the Galactic Empire.
