Description
From Tionne Solusar, Jedi Archivist:
"Since the earliest days of the Rebellion, the Incom Corporation has always stood as close ally to the forces of freedom and justice. The most obvious example of their devotion was the creation and distribution of the T-65 X-Wing. This stellar fighter served as the backbone for the Rebel Alliance and continued to serve as the principle craft for the successor New Republic for twenty years before being replaced by the T-70 and later in a more specialized role, the E-Wing.
"During the development process of these craft, it became clear that the Jedi needED a fighter-craft of their own, built for their purposes. To this, FrieTek and Incom were more than happy to oblige. Starting development in 17 ABY, the Starhawk was unique in its aim. The fighter craft was inherently designed to take advantage of the superior abilities of Jedi pilots compared to their contemporaries. Building off of the Delta-7 and Eta line Jedi Starfighter, along with many Rebel era craft and even captured TIE Defenders, the Starhawk utilizes one of the fastest engines on the market, while at the same time the most able propulsion and navigational systems.
"In a sense, the craft rides the very fine line between maximum velocity and maximum mobility. This line proved to be a long and frustrating process, and it was only achieved due to the objective it had in mind. This craft was meant for Jedi pilots only. Indeed, many non-sensitive pilots found controlling the craft difficult, if not outright impossible. However, in the hands of a Jedi, it performed marvelously.
"It's first test flight was in the late months of 21 ABY, with the dual seat version piloted by Jedi Master Ahsoka Tano and her two apprentices, Cale Solo and Ben Skywalker. After this first successful test, the Starhawk would enter service 24 ABY, with new variations being introduced in Echo-8 and 9. However, many Jedi preferred the Echo-7's and their own modifications of the craft. Often, these modifications involved the increase in its arsenal, with the two laser cannons receiving an additional pair, and the torpedo bays being expanded to include anti-capital ship ordinances.
"The Starhawk would serve as the primary fighter-craft for the Jedi during the Outer Rim Crisis and later the War for Antiga, serving alongside the best of the best of the New Republic Navy. However, the sudden disappearance of the Jedi Order in 31 ABY also saw the disappearance of their Starhawks, and they would not make a reappearance until the Orders return at the Battle of The Forge in 34 ABY, and subsequently, the beginning of the Great Interstellar War..."
