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. These Mint Condition A-Wings are even faster than used examples, and it's laser cannons can keep firing long after it's engines start requiring that daily tune up.

- Can Enter Atmosphere and Land
- Bpr-99 Fusion Reactor
- Hydro-servo Bearing, allowing Laser Cannons to swivel behind craft and fire at pursuers
- Mint Condition Extreme Speed Interceptor, capable of out running most modern Interceptors
- Multiple Multispectral Imagers for gathering data
- 2 Fast 2 Furious: Still one of the fastest fighters in the Galaxy Millennia after it was introduced, it's speed and agility make it an ideal fighter even today. This mint condition version is basically Barry Allen with Laser Cannons, capable of matching speed and agility with just about any Interceptor
- Defenses: Has a sensor jammer making it harder to target by enemy interceptors, and a deflector shield
- Scanners: Powerful and precise sensors ally for incredible targeting and intel gathering
- Ultra Fast fire rate: It's mint condition laser cannons fire at an extremely fast rate that makes its projectiles potentially difficult to evade
- SURPRISE!: It's laser cannons can swivel behind it to fire
- Repair issues: Mint Condition A-Wing means Mint Condition A-Wing Problems Absolutely appalling repair times, lengthy, extensive, and assuring it spends more time in the shop than it does the the stars
- Outdated: It's shield systems are out dated, and can take only one hit, while the hull can take only one, and it's jammers can be easily overcome by modern systems and jammed in turn, and it's chaff defense systems are also severely outdated beyond the most basic engagements
- Acquisition Difficulty: Expensive to maintain, combined with the fact that finding one in mint condition dating back to the rebel alliance is of extreme difficulty, it may take weeks of months of rumor hunting to locate one, and it will almost certainly have some sort of dangerous defense system protecting it. Failing that, you could just order a recreation, but where's the fun in that? Don't you want bragging rights?
