T-65D-A1 X-wing Starfighter

Introduced 13 years into the life of the New Republic, the T65D-A1 was the result of a long and relatively fruitless research project by Incom. General Wedge Antilles ordered the older X-wings which were in service to be updated to the new specs to standardise performance. The new fighter includes a new computer system that integrates all the functions of the astromech droid so the T65D-A1 doesn't need or have an astromech socket. The new computer system is accessible from the cockpit so that the pilot can have more control over the customisable options available during flight and combat. as with all New Republic X-wings, the fighter has been updated to a faster atmospheric speed of 1300kph.

Upon introduction, would-be terrorists equipped a hidden explosive detonator in each computer that would be fitted to a fighter, activated by a certain set of commands. This grounded the New Republic X-wing fleet for a while and considerably ruined the T65D-A1 refit.
