Chaff OR Flare Launcher
The original RZ-1 A-Wing remains one of the fastest fighters in the Galaxy. Very few TIE Fighters of the Empire were able to keep up with this embodiment of Greased Lightning. It may have been constantly outnumbered and out gunned, but rarely was it outflown. If saner heads had prevailed in the Imperial Navy, the A-Wing would have been the sort of fighter it would have made, and eventually did attempt in models such as the TIE Defender and Interceptor, but that Star Destroyer Addiction proved too powerful to kick in the end. Still found in ancient military caches, it's potential is inhibited by its incredibly high maintenance issues.
