BrickWars Sets Description Lego 7915 Imperial V-Wing Starfighter, or Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-Wing starfighter was a light starfighter commissioned by the Galactic Republic late into the Clone Wars. It saw continued use after the rise of the Galactic Empire. Its wedge-shaped design was similar to that of the Jedi starfighter (Delta-7 Aethersprite-class interceptors). It was manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering as well. It was armed with two twin laser cannons, flak guns and proton bombs. It was commanded by a pilot and an astromech, which provided maintenence and flight navigation skills and acted as the co-pilot. The small build of the fighter made it relatively cheap to manufacture, making it one of the most numerous starfighters in the Republic Navy. In battle, the ships would be released from Republic Star Destroyer hangars in swarms, not unlike their Separatist counterparts, the vulture droids and droid tri-fighters. Following the end of the Clone Wars, the V-Wing was upgraded and flown only by the most elite pilots. Its deflector shields were improved and an onboard hyperdrive was added; the ship was also repainted the black and gray colors of the Galactic Empire. The V-Wing's unique wing design led to the development of the TIE fighters, and as a result V-Wings saw much less use as time went on.
The Lego 7915 Imperial V-Wing Starfighter contains 139 pieces and includes 2 minifigures.
