Other warheads, such as concussion missiles, could be fired from the launchers, but this required a considerable amount of time and effort on the part of the technical crews, and the overall versatility of the proton torpedo was ideally suited to the X-wing's varied mission profile. The X-wing carried four Taim & Bak KX9 laser cannons, along with tubes for proton torpedoes. The Rebels began producing the X-wings in modest numbers and the vehicle has quickly become one the most important weapons in the Alliance arsenal. Designed by Incom Corporation in the early days of the Empire, the X-wing schematics found their way into Rebel hands when several Incom engineers defected to the Alliance. The X-wing's history is nearly as important as its capabilities. One of the X-wing's greatest assets is its durability: the fighter's reinforced titanium alloy hull, deflector shield projectors, and transparisteel canopy ensure that it can withstand several hits without suffering serious damage. Although the X-wing is designed for just one pilot and no passengers, the X-wing jockey is never truly alone thanks to the astromech socket located behind the cockpit. Each wing is armed with a high-powered laser cannon and accurate proton torpedo launchers. The starfighter receives its name from its double-layered wings, which separate into an 'X' formation during combat to increase the craft's field of fire. The X-wing is among the most advanced single-pilot starfighter ever produced. This version has increased mass capacity and better heat-handling. Success with the Heavy Z-95 lead to the creation of the modified (Advanced or Heavy) X-Wing. In appearance, it is an X-wing with cross-body strakes.

It is a powerful ship, with nearly twice the mass of a regular X-wing while retaining its predecessor's speed and maneuverability.
