B-wing is an Alliance starfighter in Star Wars: Rebellion. The in-game encyclopedia says Admiral Ackbar conceived the unusual-looking B-wing as a new generation of heavy assault starfighter. Its proton torpedo launchers, blaster cannons and ion cannons are mounted on a gyroscopically stabilized cockpit. The text calls it a formidable opponent.[1]

In the game

Each B-wing squadron costs 7 refined materials to build and 8 to maintain. It has a shield strength of 9 and a hyperdrive.[1] The infobox values come from the game data.[2] The 25th Anniversary Community Patch does not change them.[3]
