What is this?Edit

Er...what the hell is this? --MarcK [talk] 16:34, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

• Fairly certain it's an X-wing variant from the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook. I'll look it up to confirm, if someone else doesn't get to it first. Some information may be fanon, though. — Silly Dan 16:37, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • The CG image is definately fanon, at least. The article even states this model hasn't been in any games, so why would we have a CG version of it? - Kwenn 16:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I think the whole thing may be fanon, actually: the trainer starfighter I was thinking of is a Z95 Headhunter variant! — Silly Dan 01:51, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • The actual ship is from Crimson Empire II issue 5 and 6. The CG image is fanon, from Darksaber's X-wing Station (like so much other fanon that gets posted here). The description seems to be a derivation of the description from Darksaber, but written by someone with spectacularly bad English language skills. —Darth Culator (talk) 15:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Did I remove too much?Edit

I think I got rid of all the fanon in this article, but now it's a bit stubby. If I removed something that's actually canon by mistake, please let me know and restore it. Red XIV 04:17, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Extra Seat?Edit

Just wondering what's the point of the extra seat? An extra launcher shouldn't require a gunner. It's not like they added a gun turret like on the Y-wing. So maybe it was a copilot/navigator type. -Finlayson 02:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

• Maybe a trainer? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 12:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Most likely. Adm Ackbar does some training flights in one (He called it a TX-65 though) in Shield of Lies. -Finlayson 04:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
    • I think that's another name for the same model. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 12:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Name?Edit

Where does the name for this come from? It definitely wasn't in CEII. Kuralyov 21:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• I'm fairly sure it's fanon. I haven't seen an actual name for it in anything canon. If there are no objections by this time tomorrow, I'm going to move it to "X-wing (two-seat)" or "X-wing (heavy)" and slap a {{Nickname}} tag on it. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk)(TINC) 21:49, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Are you sure it wasn't name in CE II? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 23:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
    • I just reread the last three issues of CE2. It was only referred to as "an X-wing." -- Darth Culator ^(Talk)(TINC) 04:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
      • Wasn't this called a trainer somewhere? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 14:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
        • Not in any way that was associated with this model. This seven-engine version only appeared in CE2. The TX-65 trainer has side-by-side seats. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk)(TINC) 17:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
          • Figures. I haven't read CE II lately. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 20:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
            • Is it more likely that this ship is an ugly? It seems to have a fairly odd arrangement of parts (seven engines?), and an official two-seat X-wing already exists in the form of the aforementioned TX-65. jSarek 20:50, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
              • I don't think it's an ugly, but can we try to come up with a better name? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 20:52, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
              • It looks too consistent to be an ugly, IMO. And uglies are one of the stupidest ideas in the EU, so I'd rather not add another one. As for the name, I don't much care where it goes as long as we're rid of the fanon name. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk)(TINC) 21:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
                • "Seven-engined X-wing"? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:23, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Possible Merge?Edit

The picture for the tandem X-wing seems to fit the description for the TX-65 X-wing starfighter; specifically the parts about it having an expanded fuselage and two-seater capacity. Perhaps what we see in Crimson Empire II is a version that's been outfitted for actual combat? Halomek 20:53, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
