Background: This version of the venerable starfighter retains the third proton torpedo launcher from that standard XJ X-wing while increasing the number of torpedoes carried to twelve. It also incorporated backup shield generators that proved useful against the Yuuzhan Vong “shield grab” attack. Additionally it boasts improved targeting systems, maneuverability, avionics, and laser cannons, which fired blue rather than red lasers. It could also use the R7-series astromech droid. Compared to the earlier series of X-wing starfighters, the XJ was a great improvement.
