The Star-Wing was a formidable starfighter when it was first introduced to the Imperial navy, however the early versions were not as nimble as their opponents, and struggled to keep up with the agile A-wings and X-wings.
Cygnus Spaceworks iterated on the design and came up with the XG-5. A more sleek and nimble fighter, sacrificing the volume of the heavy weaponry, but gaining mobility and speed instead.
The XG-5s has only recently gotten into the hands of the Protectorate, and has joined the Viper Squadron for now.
Do you draw your backgrounds? They look great!
@chris: No I didn't 🙂 I probably could, but I used some AI generated images for the backgrounds, and then do some editing to adjust them to my needs.
I know AI is controversial, but since the focus should be the build I don't want to put too much love into the backgrounds, the fact that you like it so much, might actually be an indication that I should dial them down a notch.
