Legend

this snub fighter was the last ship which was built by Incom in cooperation with Subpro Industries. The two corporations severed their relationship just before the onset of the Clone Wars, a few years before Incom began production on the X-Wing. One of the key designers of the ship was Seti Ashgad. They are 11.8 meters in length, and were equipped with twin engines, forked tails, and bomb pylons. They were famous for how much punishment they could take in battle, as well as the adaptability of the basic fighter design to other mission profiles. Each Headhunter was equipped with up to 3 blaster cannons on each wing, a concussion missile launcher, and a unique bubble canopy that allowed its pilot an almost 360-degree view of the sky around him. They employed a holographic, heads-up display that made the bubble canopy even more effective. However, the Z-95 lacked a hyperdrive. With the advent of the X-wing, the Z-95 became relegated to smugglers' armies and backwater usage, but still maintained a great following due to their toughness. During the era of the New Order, Jessa and Doc had six of them in their defense system, while Talon Kaarde even had a few of them in his fleet during the early years of the New Republic. They have been clocked at 1,150 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere, and can generate sublight speeds of 85 MGLT. They are equipped with the following shipboard components:
