With Incom’s latest release of Starfighters the Rz-23 acts as the new line’s mainstay interceptor. With the classic and proven aesthetics and designs, Incom Corporation with assistance from Alderaan Engineering has produced the next generation of A-Wing Interceptor. Produced with standard military grade sensors and computers, updated engines and thrusters, the A-Wing is just as deadly as ever.
Like its ancient predecessor, the Rz-23 features a pair of rapid fire blaster cannons as its primary weapon, set on swivel mounts that allow them to turn and fire in the dorsal, ventral, or aft arcs in addition to firing forward. The gimbals are capable of setting the Zero mark where the bolts intersect to less than ten meters and as much as the weapon’s maximum range. A pair of concussion missile launchers with separate internal ordnance magazines loaded with six missiles each. They are capable of firing some other similarly sized warheads if desired. As a final weapon the Rz-23 features a concealed light blaster cannon on a turret mount under the hull used to fire upon pursuit ships and attack ground troops.
As an upgrade from the older models and based from the TR-20 X-wing design aspects, the Rz-23 Model features a reduced sensor signature assisted by energy, static, and emission dampeners that allow the vessel to operate under stealth conditions. When doing so its weapons and shields must be powered down, and the ship’s power converter cannot be directed. In doing so, the passive stealth allows the ship to hide from most sensors and scanners while at long range, but is rendered ineffective at close range and engagement ranges.
The main difference between the Rz-23 Model and previous Incom A-Wing designs is the Power Converter and Reserve Power Generator found aboard, a concept borrowed from Alderaan Engineering and miniaturized for starfighters. This Converter and reserve power allows the pilot of the Rz-23 to amplify their combat abilities during flight, such as switching power to weapons when making an attack run, boosting shields while being pursued in a dogfight, or turbo-boosting engines in order to escape capture from a tractor beam.

Stealth Systems
- Ion Scramblers
- Anti-Ion Emission Tracers
- Programmable Paint
- Reduced Sensor Signature
- Power Converter: New Incom Models now include Power Converters and a small reserve Power Generator, which allows them to boost one of their combat systems in battle, or assist with a rapid startup sequence.
- Passive Long Range Stealth: Energy Dampeners, Static Dampeners, and Emission dampeners allow the RZ-23 model to fly under stealth conditions and hide from most sensors at long range. In order to do this it cannot use its power converters, fire weaponry, or have active shields.
- Fast and Agile: Like any A-Wing, the Rz-23 is known for its speed and maneuverability, effectively a cockpit between two oversized engines.
- Lightly Armed: The Rz-23 is lightly armed, with only a pair of laser cannons and a pair of concussion missiles compared to its more heavily armed cousins like the X-Wing and Y-Wing.
- Lightly Armored: Built for speed and handling, the hull of the Rz-23 is light and much more easily damaged.
- Unassigned Energy: In combat, the reserve power must be assigned by the pilot or droid or it is not utilized or directed. This means when ambushed by enemy craft, the vessel is not able to perform at its full potential for a time.
- One System at a Time: The fighter’s power converter can only direct its reserve power to a single combat system at a time, taking several seconds to stop the flow of energy to one system, redirect it, and begin the flow of energy to the next system.
- Limited Stealth: The New Incom Line has minor stealth capabilities, but the fighter must power down weapons and shields, and cannot boost engines in order to evade enemy sensors at long range. The system is ineffective at normal ranges.
