The tandem X-wing starfighter was an enlarged two-seat version of Incom's more common T-65 X-wing.
[edit] Characteristics
In addition to its larger hull and expanded cockpit, it mounted seven sublight engines compared to the standard X-wing's four. It mounted the same armament as the standard X-wing, but probably had an expanded proton torpedo capacity.
[edit] History
A tandem X-wing was piloted by Tav Kennede when he flew to Xo in 11 ABY to rescue Kir Kanos and Mirith Sinn from the Zanibar.
The same fighter was flown soon afterward by Kennede and Sinn as part of a New Republic assault against Grappa the Hutt's fortress on Genon.
The tandem X-wing model does not appear to have seen widespread use.
