Talk:R-22 Spearhead

I've taken a few liberties with the R-22 since canon doesn't give much information on it...

It currently isn't known which company created the R-22, but I'm claiming that Republic Fleet Systems did since they're the ones who made the Aurek Tactical Strikefighter, which is a predecessor to the RZ-1 A-wing Interceptor (which was based on the R-22). So, if RFS made the Aurek, it stands to reason that they made the R-22 too.

As such, I also provided a point in time for the R-22 to have been introduced. It's earliest sighting was in 15 BBY, but RFS was shut down shortly before the Clone Wars (22 BBY), so I decided on a few years before that as my date.

Finally, the R-22 has a two-seat variant, but even less is known about that, including a model number. I decided on calling it the R-22/E, basing that choice on the B-wing/E (a two-seater B-wing variant).

If canon ever gets around to giving more details on the R-22, I'll look into changing the stats. Right now though, this is the R-22 as Exodus knows it. --Halomek 09:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
