V-Wing Starfighter

The Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter, or simply the V-wing starfighter, was a light fighter craft used by the Republic Navy late in the Clone Wars. They were later used by the Galactic Empire to intercept ships landing on Imperial worlds, such as Raxus, and request their clearance codes.

Armament and complement
The V-wing fighter was armed with two rapid-fire laser cannons on both sides of its cockpit. It flew with two small ion thrusters stacked vertically between its four rotating airfoils. This combination made the V-wing a highly maneuverable starfighter that could execute sharp turns at high speeds. Unlike other Republic fighters, however, the V-wing was not equipped with life support and required the pilot to wear a pressurized flight suit. They were flown by clone pilots with an Astromech Droid navigator.
