The BTL Y-wing is the Rebel Alliance's assault starfighter and bomber, built by Koensayr Manufacturing and first drawn up for the Republic in the Clone Wars.

What makes it different
Armour and engines over agility.
Two nacelles and exposed piping make a bulky airframe that trades manoeuvring for taking hits.
A turret behind the cockpit.
Twin ion cannons sit in a rotating turret, run by a gunner or from the cockpit.
Bombs as well as guns.
Two forward laser cannons and a pair of proton torpedo launchers with six rounds each.
