The Alliance had at least three squadrons equipped with the T-65 series by 0 BBY. Hera Syndulla, Mart Mattin, Secon Daree, C1-10P, and R3-A3 survived being shot down, but many other pilots were killed and their astromechs destroyed. During the attack on Lothal at least 10 T-65B X-wing Fighter alongside BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bombers participated in the assault, but all were destroyed by the Imperial defenses. The Alliance to Restore the Republic operated T-65B X-wings as early as 1 BBY. Operational history Galactic Civil War Early battles ДЄssorted Rebel Fighter exit hyperspace for an attack on Lothal. By 34 ABY, the New Republic had retired most of its T-70s in favor of the T-85s, which were even more capable than the already impressive T-70s. At least one prototype had been constructed prior to the Battle of Jakku. The Incom engineers, having learned a valuable lesson from the loss of so many X-wings in the trenches at Battle of Yavin, equipped the T-70 with a swiveling blaster cannon that could be used to fend off attacks from behind.

In 5 ABY, Incom-FreiTek Corporation introduced the T-70 model, which incorporated many improvements over the T-65 series. The Alliance to Restore the Republic then adopted the X-wing design as its own. The new starfighter was intended to become the backbone of the Imperial Navy, but political forces led to the Galactic Empire deciding to rely on Sienar Fleet Systems' more affordable TIE line. Incom's engineers strove to build a well-rounded, hyperdrive-equipped snubfighter with no exploitable weakness. The X-wing was descended from Incom Corporation's Clone WarsвЂ“era Fighter, namely the Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter, Clone Z-95 Headhunter, and Z-95 Headhunter.
