Bio:
This starfighter was designed in the late Thrawn era to encompass
the best points of the New Republic starfighters currently in
operation.  A need arose for a dedicated bomber which could get to
the target fast, and leave in a hurry.  Therefore, the K-Wing was
developed with the A-Wing's speed in mind along with the usefullness
of a Y-Wing.  Structurally speaking, this fighter is basically an
A-Wing with two horizontal wings, and two wings at a downward 45
degree angle.

Each wing come equipped with laser cannons similar to the X-Wing,
and yes they burn up easily and must be replaced frequently.  The
K-Wing also comes equipped with three proton torpedo launcher, which
can be fire linked for maximum damage.

Due to the fact that this ship is rather small for its payload, every
comfort expense was spared.  Pilots who are trying to be K-Wing pilots
undergo numerous psychological exams to determine even the most accute
form of chlosterphobia.  Also, when fully armored, the proton torpedos
make up 1/4 of the K-Wing's total mass.  This also presents a danger
in combat, seeing as just a slight peck on the fusulage might be just
enough to set off the proton torpedos.  Hence, the 2D+1 hull.

Overall, this starfighter has proven to be an effective addition to the
New Republic...in the right hands.  In the wrong hands, or in the hands
on an inexperienced pilot, this fighter could be very deadly to ourselves.
