The pilots first equipped with the B-wing in its experimental stages belonged to Dagger Squadron, and they were the first qualified to be sent into battle with the starfighter. However, only seasoned veterans could master the fighter’s unique gyrostabilization system, which both ensured its cockpit always remained stationary during flight and enabled its pilot to coordinate complex flight and attack maneuvers. With its heavy weapons array and resilient shielding, the B-wing quickly established itself as one of the Rebellion’s most formidable assault fighters.

To honor those test pilots who first flew the ship, the A-wing in Rebel Aces features the paint scheme depicted on the Prototype Pilot ship card, with a bold blue central stripe and red and yellow highlights. Still, the efforts its test pilots put forth ultimately benefitted everyone dedicated to the cause of galactic freedom, and the A-wing proved its worth during the Battle of Endor by helping to cripple Star Destroyers. Piloting the agile A-wing required tremendous focus and lightning-fast reflexes. Only ace pilots were granted the right to test the Rebellion’s prototype starfighters.
