Heavy-95
this was the familiar name given to a series of Z-95 Headhunters that were modified by the Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. These fighters were equipped with cross-body strakes that provided better heat dissipation as well as allowing the chassis to support a heavier load. Thus, the name Heavy-95 was coined. The development of the Heavy-95 allowed the Alliance's meager naval forces to keep pace with the Empire's growig starfleet, before the availability of the X-Wing. The cross-body strakes were later adapted for use on the X-Wing to assist with heat dissipation and to provide additional support for the chassis.
