V-Wing Airspeeder

The V-Wing has played a major role in battles after the Battle of Endor including the Battle of Mon Calamari. Designed by Slayn and Korpil, the V-Wing plays a similar role as the Snowspeeders seen in the Battle of Hoth, except that they can reach an altitude of 100 kilometers. They can reach speeds of around 1400 kilometers per hour, but maneuvers at that speed can be extremely dangerous. Their only weaponry is a double laser cannon. The pilot does have an ejecting seat option for emergency.
