Strengths:
- Deploying squads into battle zones
- Long range transport
- Exceptional Stealth: Very difficult to detect
- Hard to stop: tough as nails and exceptional straight line speed. Makes hyperspace calculations quickly.
- Shield disruptor will light ship up like a christmas tree on sensors if used
- Has to keep relatively slow to remain undetected
- Has to leave hyperspace a short distance from a system to avoid early warning hyperspace scanners, despite low hyperspace wake and low cronau radiation burst
The U-60X is an advanced version of the U-60T in mass production by incom. Most noticeable differences to the naked eye are: a rearward facing bubble turret, a more slim single pilot cockpit, only two engines instead of four. To a typical sensor the differences are, however, vast.
This vessel has an exceptional suite of stealth features. Due to these and it's low physical profile it can get a squad of elite soldiers or Jedi nearly anywhere in the galaxy. An advanced nav-comp can plot complex routes to avoid patrols, but even the most advanced sensor will struggle to catch a U-60X unless it makes a mistake.
Travel can be slow to reach the intended destination, both in hyperspace and realspace. If detected the two engines can remove up to full power in a few seconds and the U-Wing can accelerate hard to escape.
As in the typical model the complement of troops can exit through doors on either side of the hold. The pilot's cockpit gives a clear view of the ground to pick a landing site. The vessel is not intended to be a combatant, especially at the cost of production. However it can take a fair bearing before being brought down.
