Summary

	The A-9 Vigilance interceptor was a short-range starfighter used by the Galactic Empire that began production in 9 ABY. Simple cockpit controls made the A-9 an easy fighter to learn. While faster than the TIE Interceptor TIE Interceptor Starship Starfighter Models , it had a weaker hull due to deliberate design choices made to reduce mass. Thanks to independent power generators, however, the weapons system was quite powerful for a ship of its size. The A-9 was armed with two laser cannons, mounted in a structure on the ventral side of the fuselage. One was slightly more powerful than the other. They were fire-linked and aimed forward in their standard configuration, but several modifications existed which allowed the gun to pivot 90 degrees down to perform strafing runs, as well as allowing the cannons to be independently targeted. These cannons were more powerful than those of a T-65 X-wing starfighter T-65 X-Wing Starship Starfighter Models . Read more...	See also T-65 X-Wing TIE Interceptor
