This here is something I drew up today, the Incom T-84 fighter. It's basically a lighter, more modern ship to accompany the XJ-Wing in New Republic service. It's obviously inspired by one of the firm's earlier projects, the Z-95 Headhunter.

She boasts dual blaster cannons, concussion missiles, as well as superb visibility for her pilot with a bubble transparisteel canopy. The T-84 also has an insane thrust-to-weight ratio and excellent agilty, allowing her to keep up with the Empire's latest designs. T-84's are being assigned primarily to Core System defense squadrons such as those around Coruscant, and are being stationed aboard battle stations and Venator-class ships pressed back into NR service.

OOC, it is indeed inspired by the Headhunter and, I must confess, the nBSG Mk. VII Viper. :razz: And yes, the fluff article doesn't quite conform to the EU, I know.

Pretty nice, Jon. And I actually like the forward swept-wing design like that of X-29. And of course, in space, there's no air resistance to worry about.

Thanks. I figured it would also help to both enhance atmospheric agility and sorta shift the center of gravity a bit forward for space maneuvering.
