簡介
E翼星際戰鬥機The E-wing starfighter was the first small space superiority combat craft designed and built entirely under the auspices of the New Republic. The fighter was developed by FreiTek, a company formed by the defecting Incom design team that developed the X-wing starfighter.
E翼星際戰鬥機是第一種完全在新共和國主持下設計建造的小型太空優勢戰鬥飛船。這種戰鬥機由弗賴技術公司研發。該公司由投誠的英康設計團隊組成。X翼星際戰鬥機就是英康研發的。
A rugged, advanced combat vessel, the E-wing was introduced during Grand Admiral Thrawn's campaign to retake the Core, though it was not rushed into front-line action until the clone Emperor's scourge a short time later. It was originally produced to help guard New Republic shipping convoys from pirate or Imperial raids.
E翼是種結實、先進的戰鬥飛船，在索龍元帥企圖奪回核心世界的戰役期間問世，但直到不久後皇帝的克隆體興風作浪時才被投入前線作戰。它最早的任務是協助保護新共和國運輸船隊免遭海盜和帝國的襲擊。
The E-wing is very similar in appearance to the X-wing starfighter. A narrow, pointed spaceframe rests between two aerodynamic foils that not only stabilize the craft, but extend weapons coverage. The streamlined nosecone contains the craft's primary sensor array. Midway through the body is the cockpit, with a concealed R7 astromech socket behind it.
E翼在外觀上很像X翼星際戰鬥機。尖細的機身位於一對符合空氣動力學的機翼之間，機翼不但可保持飛船平
The sturdy foils are locked into place by support struts. The articulated s-foil mechanism of the X-wing fighter was eliminated in the E-wing to reduce costs and machining complexity. The foils also serve as mounts for the powerful drive engines slung below them.
堅固的機翼由支撐架固定。X翼戰鬥機的S翼活動機械裝置在E翼上被去掉，以減少成本和機械複雜度。E翼的機翼還被用於在下方懸掛強大的推進引擎。
The E-wing is capable of incredible speed, nearly achieving the top sublight speeds of an A-wing starfighter. The fighter is very maneuverable despite its heavy armor. The E-wing's Class Two hyperdrive is complimented by a streamlined astromech interface. Industrial Automaton and Frietek together developed the R7 specifically for this fighter. The E-wing cannot operate with anything less than an R7, since its internal systems and control units are so complex.
E翼能以驚人的速度飛行，幾乎可以達到A翼星際戰鬥機的最高亞光速。儘管裝甲厚重，但這種戰鬥機的機動性非常好。E翼的二級超空間驅動器配有流線型的宇航技工機器人界面。工業機器人公司和弗賴技術公司共同為這種戰鬥機開發了專用的R7機器人。由於內部系統和控制組件過於複雜，所以任何比R7落後的機器人都無法操作E翼。
While speedy, the E-wing's true strength lies in its ability to absorb and deliver firepower. Three laser cannons are fire-linked to form an impressive primary weapon. Two of these cannons are foil-mounted, while the third is directly over the cockpit canopy. The E-wings rival the older B-wing starfighters in their ability to damage capital ships and ground-based installations.
儘管高速，但E翼真正的實力在於儲備和提供火力的能力。三門火力相連的雷射炮組成嘆為觀止的主武器。其中兩門炮安裝在機翼上，第三門直接位於駕駛艙上方。在破壞大型飛船和陸基設施的能力上，E翼可以和較老的B翼星際戰鬥機相媲美。
Initial battle tests showed a problem with the laser cannon assembly. The cannons used synthetically spin-sealed Tibanna gas as a laser source, which tended to break down rapidly, and reduce weapon range. During the fevered pitch of the Battle of Calamari, Republic technicians did not have the time to properly address the problem. Instead, a stopgap solution was found, correcting the range issue by sending three times the power through the cannons' actuators. This modification, designated an E-wing: Type B, increased the weapons range, but also risked a dangerous internal power overload.
最初的戰鬥測試表明雷射炮配件存在問題。雷射炮使用人工自旋鎖定的提班納氣體作為雷射源，但它會很快衰減，降低武器射程。在卡拉馬里戰役的高潮，共和國技術人員沒時間徹底解決這個問題。於是，一個臨時解決方案出現，向雷射炮的激發裝置輸送三倍動力以修正射程問題。這種改裝被冠名為E翼：B型，它增加了武器射程，但加大了內部動力過載的風險。
The fighter is designed for a single pilot, and has enough consumable supplies for one week of non-combat operations. It can carry 110 kilograms of cargo.
這種戰鬥機被設計為單座，擁有足夠的補給以維持一周非戰鬥行動。它能攜帶110千克貨物。

幕後
The E-wing starfighter first appeared in the Dark Empire comic series. It is one of the few Expanded Universe vessels to have been reproduced as a toy in the Action Fleet line of starships.
E翼星際戰鬥機最早出現在《黑暗帝國》系列漫畫中。它是少數被製成“活動艦隊”系列星際飛船玩具的“衍生宇宙”飛船。
