The T-65XJ X-wing Starfighter was manufactured by Incom according to specifications suggested by Luke Skywalker and other high-ranking New Republic starfighter pilots. The T-65XJ boasts increased shield capacity, better maneuverability, and a higher sublight speed than the comparable T-65AC4.

The starfighter uses better targeting computers than other X-wing models and utilizes heavy laser cannons for increased damage. Additionally, a third proton torpedo launcher was added to up the fighter's payload to 9 torpedoes total, sacrificing the cargo space to do so.

The default configuration calls for an R7 astromech instead of the venerable R2 unit, but it can be modified to interface with the older series of droid as well.

Although the T-65XJ was manufactured primarily with the Jedi Order in mind - indeed many people believe the "J" in the model number stands for "Jedi" - a few of these exceptional starfighters have also been seen in top New Republic squadrons.
