The V-wing’s efficacy comes from its small, compact profile and study design. The V-wing rode in on the heels of the equally prominent V-19 Torrent starfighter and largely replaced the Torrent in its intended role as a short-range assault fighter. The V-wing was an immediate success upon deployment to the front, with the most notable element to its reputation being its remarkable speed and maneuverability. Often shortened to the V-wing, the fighter was introduced in the twilight years of the Clone Wars by Kuat Systems Engineering as a short-range, primarily carrier-based support fighter.
The Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter is a craft with a legendary reputation.
