The T-70 X-wing fighter was an updated incarnation of the classic
 T-65B X-wing starfighter manufactured by Incom-FreiTek for use by the New Republic Starfleet.More expensive and complex than the former T-65B,

the T-70 featured advanced weaponry and proved more versatile than its predecessor, and was essential in both dogfights and capital-ship scale combat operations.

Appropriated S-foils designs allowed a greater range of fire, while four KX12 laser cannonsoffered single, dual, and quad firing modes. A built in dual proton torpedo launcher with quick-change magazines permitted the utilization of alternative armaments. New Republic demilitarization efforts and corruption would ultimately see production of the vessel stymied to several well-connected manufacturers. The T-70 would be eventually phased out by the newer T-85 X-wing.
