The B-wing is a fictional starfighter from the Star Wars universe, primarily used by the Rebel Alliance. It is known for its unique design, featuring a rotating cockpit and a long, slender body. The B-wing is equipped with heavy weapons and is designed for both space and atmospheric combat, making it a versatile choice for engaging larger Imperial ships. Introduced in Return of the Jedi, the B-wing was created to counter the formidable Imperial Star Destroyers. Its advanced maneuverability and firepower allow it to perform well in dogfights, while its ability to carry torpedoes makes it effective against capital ships.
