The Champion-class Starfighter is overall based off the aging T-65 X-Wing and its successor models such as the XJ3, T-70, and XJ6 Starfighters, all known for being standard issue Superiority Fighters of their time and era. Combining a balance of cost effectiveness, endurance, durability, agility, speed, and firepower those ancient starfighters dominated space combat for over a century of near constant warfare and scientific improvements. The Champion-class, designed and produced by Alderaan Engineering makes use of much of the same concept with the additional benefit of modernized technology.
The Champion-class is built from a light weight Alusteel space frame with a titanium cockpit armor designed to protect the pilot first and foremost. For armor, the Champion makes use of G-32 Evasive Armor Plating and Duraplast armoring. In terms of hull structure, it is mildly stable and armored due to the additional weight of warheads and ordnance it is designed to carry. The weight or armor had to be reduced and thus lighter, thinner armor plating made it more vulnerable to kinetic strikes and stress. It features a slightly upgraded Military Deflector Shield projector to partially compensate for this overall. Chaff and Flare Launchers help protect the starfighter from missile locks, and a single use cap drain protects it from Conner Nets. Electromagnetic shielding reduce the effectiveness of Ion and Electromagnetic weapons, though it does not provide heavy resistance, more along the lines of allowing for quicker recovery of essential systems.
The Propulsion Suite uses three of AE's own Rotational Engines with a KV609-B Engine Battery in addition to the Cryogenic Generator made popular by Incom during the Galactic Civil War. With three engine units it allows one to be damaged and the ship to maintain functionality with only minor handling issues, since the vessel is designed to be able to fly with almost a third of its frame heavily damaged. This allows for the occasional stop and pivot maneuver to help shake enemies on their tail, and allow the Champion-Class to accelerate in any direction, left, right, forward, backwards improving its handling and agility, bringing it back in line with standard Starfighter weaponry.
The Champion-class features fairly basic Sensor and Targeting equipment, much of the same types of technology used in the X-Wings with advanced processing to help cut through the enormous amount of sensor signals in space combat, though the cockpit makes use of side, rear, top, and bottom holoscreens to enable a pilot to use visual sensors to view craft flying outside their usual line of sight rather than cutting windows through the ship. Its communications are standard issue, with the added Interrogation Module which forces a ship to broadcast its ID codes when targeted by the Module, often used in patrol ships and police starfighters, made standard on the Champion-class.
In terms of weaponry, the Champion is superior to the X-wing. It features four Modular Weapons mounts capable of being fitted with Laser Cannons, Particle Beam Cannons, Ion Cannons, Mass Driver Cannons, and other similar sized weaponry, all roughly comparable in output as a standard Laser Cannon. Like the X-Wing it has two Flex-Tube Warhead Launchers, each capable of firing four starfighter grade munitions such as proton torpedoes, cluster warheads, homing concussion missiles, disruptor missiles, and other munition types. What it has over its competition is an eight metric ton Ordnance Bay, designed to hold two heavy Proton Bombs, three space mines, four Proton Rockets, four Intruder Missiles, six proton torpedoes, eight homing concussion missiles, or thirty two Class-A thermal detonators for ground support, capital ship hunting, and fortification demolition missions

Strengths:
- Balance: The Starfighter is based off the T-65B X-Wing, containing the perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, endurance, and firepower.
- Ordnance: The Champion features a small ordnance bay as standard for making capital ship or ground support runs.
- Glass Jaw: The Champion relies more on its shielding for defense, having used lighter materials in construction to compensate for the added weight ordnance. Kinetic shocks place more strain on its space frame and are more damaging to it than normal weaponry.
- Bulky: Given its size, it is larger than that of an X-Wing, presenting a larger target to enemies, especially from above or bellow given its wide wings and body.
- Modular Weapon Systems
- Ordnance Bay
