The Sarge Posted July 1 Posted July 1 (edited) With the widthdrawl of the Empire from Yag'duhl, the Givin set to reopening their orbital yards. One of the first products of the new Yag'duhl Spaceworks was the M-wing interceptor, a replacement for the aging Cloakshapes and Headhunters that had been hidden in caves and grottos on the planet's surface during the occupation. With missiles heavily restricted under the New Republic, engineers instead turned to a heavy ion cannon to provide an anti-shipping punch, backed with a pair of laser cannons and a pair of rapid-fire blaster cannons. The fuselage betrays the designer's collaboration with Koensayr designers; the flat wedge recalling the K-wing and iconic Y-wing cockpits. A heavy ion cannon and twin blaster cannons are housed in the nose, while laser cannons are mounted in the wings. While the M-wing is typically stored on racks, much like the TIE series, small landing gear in the engine housings allow it to put down anywhere in a pinch. Fractal Squadron takes advantage of this capability when they are attached to the New Republic Third Fleet. Vectored thrust rings around the Incom fusion engines allow for incredible feats of maneuverability. Combined with the Givin pilot's innate talents for mathematics, these interceptors can often outperform theoretically superior ships.   Edited July 2 by The Sarge Quote
MKJoshA Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Great Givin figure! And your fighter looks so smooth. Fantastic work. Quote
The Sarge Posted July 1 Author Posted July 1 Thank you! It was a trick to get it all sturdy enough to be swooshable. Quote
Daiman Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Very sharp looking design I especially like the y-wing cockpit reference Quote
n1majneb Posted July 7 Posted July 7 Its been said already but great work with a Givin minifig, clever and well executed. Excellent design in the ship from the Engines with perfect detail to those angled wings and cockpit. Great work and great design with the fact sheet too! Quote
