Description

The Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter, often simply known as the V-wing starfighter or Nimbus fighter, was a short-ranged starfighter deployed late in the Clone Wars by the Galactic Republic and later on by the Galactic Empire.

THis version of the V-wing, the V-wing M, Is a multipurpose starfighter. With its wide verity of armaments, it plays and important role in the Imperial Navy. Upgrades have been mad to its frame and hull by using Durasteel instead of a titanium alloy. The Deflector shield heat sinks have been redesigned to shed off excess heat. The weapons controls also have been revamped in this process. The current version seen left is the one used along side the TIE/q Type II.
