Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption/Rebel features

New units
The Rebel Alliance received many new units from many different sources. No aspect of the battlefield was left unimproved by Rebel technicians and inventors. It was these improvements that altered the balance of power in the Galactic Civil War.

Space Units
B-Wing: The B-Wing is the advancement from the Y-Wing. Fully loaded with 3 ion and laser cannons, and dual proton torpedo launchers, it was a welcomed addition to the Rebel arsenal. In the movies, it is seen little apart from the attack on the Death Star II, but in the expanded universe, it has become a dominant part of the Rebellion and later New Republic fleets.

Abilities

Lock S-Foils: This ability, like that of the X-Wing, closes the S-Foils to increase speed. It also decreases firepower, but it does not hamper shield and armor strength.

Capabilities

The B-Wing can handle any opponent in Forces of Corruption. It can dogfight with fighters, strafe cruisers and Star Destroyers, and is a completely welcome part of a space fleet. They are only truly stopped by corvettes, most turrets, and fighter not being actively targeted by the B-Wing, as per the Anti-fighter roles, but it still can damage them easily. What makes these new bombers superior to any fighter (save the TIE Defender and Skipray Blastboat), though, is the combined firing capability. Not only does the B-Wing fire proton torpedoes at enemy vessels, it also opens up with it's ion and laser cannons. These guns easily strip the shields off even level 5 stations and then heavily damage hardpoints underneath. The ion cannons also slow enemy fire rate, as per the land-based variant. Use this bomber frequently to halt Imperial Star Destroyers and kill them before they ravage your fleet
