Designed by general Jan Dodonna and engineer Walex Blissex, both of the Rebel Alliance, the RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptor is a fragile but extremely effective starfighter design. With its sleek arrowhead shape, streamlined cockpit and massive twin engines, it suggests raw speed even when parked within Alliance hangar bays. Faster than even the TIE Interceptor, it was the galaxy's fastest fighter when the Battle of Endor was fought, well suited for dogfighting, lightning strikes and bomber escort with twin lasers and, when supplies are available, homing concussion missiles.
