In the
Star Wars universe, the B-Wing bomber is used by the Rebels, aka Alliance as a replacement for the
Y-Wing.
A B-Wing fighter is relatively slow, but can hold many missiles, and it has strong shields and hull. It also has 3 ion cannons, which are useful for disabling enemy ships of interest.
When dogfighting is expected, the B-Wing is usually supported with X-Wings and/or A-Wings.
