Background: The Pinook fighter was a starfighter manufactured by Joraan Drive Systems. Compared to other starfighters in service during the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Pinook was underpowered, undergunned, poorly shielded, and inadequately armored. A worse than average craft all around, its only favorable quality was its better-than-average maneuverability, although it was still outperformed by a Z-95 Headhunter in this respect. In a one-on-one dogfight with a TIE/LN starfighter, only a lucky hit by the Pinook would prevent its quick annihilation.
While somewhat faster than the venerable Y-wing, it had none of that craft’s rugged durability. With a hull that was weaker than a TIE/IN interceptor’s, and shields only half as powerful as a T-65 X-wing starfighter’s, the Pinook was not a good match for modern starfighters.
