Background: The Aurek-class tactical strikefighter, also known as an A-wing, was a Republic starfighter, several models of which were used in the Old Sith Wars, the Great Galactic War, the New Sith Wars, and even until the final generation of the Republic.

The Aurek fighter was a 9.2-meter-long delta-shaped starfighter armed with two heavy laser cannons and two proton torpedo launchers, capable of holding six torpedoes. The fighter was capable of considerable acceleration and maneuvering, and had variable-geometry wings. They were easily refuelable and rearmable, thus driving down costs.

Although the Aurek fighters saw combat throughout a span of 4,000 years as the Republic’s main “hyperspace snub,” they underwent extensive upgrades and revisions from one era to the next.
