Product Description
Kuat Beta 4 Celer D-wing Interceptor
Originally designed and produced exclusively for the Galactic Republic’s Judicial services as a peacekeeping force, the D-wing is the direct predecessor to the more popular and effective V-wing. Entering service in 27BBY, a mere 5 years before the outset of the Clone Wars, by the time of the outset of war a large number of these were stationed on Judicial corvettes and cruisers.
Unbeknown to the senate and Jedi order at the time, a huge number of D-wing’s were produced by both Kuat and Rothana (a Kuat subsidiary company created to build the early GAR forces) in preparation of war. When the GAR was launched from Kamino just before the Battle of Geonosis, carriers and combat vessels were full of D-wing interceptors who took to the skies about the CIS planet fighting off trade federation vulture droids and covering Z-95 headhunter starfighters as they helped in attacking Lucrehulk and munificent CIS warships.
They served exclusively during the first years of the war as the GAR’s only light fighter/interceptor unit (other than the Jedi orders Delta 7, 7B and Eta 2 lines) but were ultimately supplanted by the newer V-wing line in late 18BBY, where the remaining D-wings were slowly regulated to planetary defence forces. Many still saw action after Darth Sidious, who was ousted as the Sith Lord and person behind the war, took full command of the CIS in 18BBY and escalated the war the following year with many Republic planets under constant subjugation and assault from the CIS droid navy.
Eventually they were fully supplanted by the V-wing with many sold off to independent factions allied to the Republic. Like the V-wing, which was replaced many years later itself, was a critical component of the early war and helped to fulfil a critical need in a war that ultimately should never had happened. Several versions were saved for the war museum that was opened on Christophsis after the conclusion of war in 0BBY.
