Y-wing
Rebel bomber craft
A Y-wing is a fictional starfighter spacecraft in the Star Wars universe, recognizable by its Y-shaped profile with a central cockpit and two engine nacelles.
In the original trilogy, Y-wings serve as aging but reliable bombers for the Rebel Alliance: The Y-wings made their attack run on the Death Star.
The term has become standard among fans discussing Star Wars vehicles and appears in games, novels, and model kits.
