Verdant Spaceworks Xi-Wing
Verdant's Xi-Wing Assault Fighter started life out as an "ugly" or ship comprised of various pieces of other ships. However, that was just the working model, from there they were put into production as more precisely calculated design.
The fusalge was taken from a z-95, the engines in the back removed and an X-wing's more powerful block of them added in. To account for the uneven drop in the fusalage a blocky shaped shell containing a Y-wing's double ion cannons was installed between the engines and the cockpit. With this adjustment the fusalage was once again streamlined if somewhat large.
The wings were shorn off rather close to the hull and added on them were modified TIE Interceptor wings. The TIE wings were elongated horizontally and shortened vertically to match the ship's profile more closesly. The solar panels generate enough energy to maintain shields while the energy in the Z-95 originally given over to shields was put into the extra laser cannons.
The standard missile launcher was then removed as well as th cargo space and a multi-purpose warhead launcher was installed. With this warhead system the Xi-wing can pose a signifagant threat to a capital ship.
