X-Wing ABC's

By Conandoodle, in X-Wing Off-Topic

X is for Xander

From the Old Republic,

just who is he?

I'm really not sure,

but he's in the wiki.

Aw you beat me to it...

Edited by flyboymb

Y is for Y-wing

An obsolete fighter

at the start of hostility

It proved its worth

with simple survivability

Z is for ZUCCUS

He seems the only hunter

That FFG forgot to mention

Maybe we'll see him,

in a future expansion.

Shall we do it again in aurabesh?

U is for Utinniiiiiii! :D

I quite enjoyed our little journey through the alphabet. Who is up for another round? Rules: Must be SW (double points if FFG: X-Wing related), can't be a repeat.

Let's begin now:

A is for Autothrusters

With each new release

this game just gets better,
but the release of Autothrusters

even shook up the meta.

U is for Upgrades

For a handful of points,

you can make your ships shine.

By getting extra hull points,

or having them turn on a dime.

You can't rhyme "points" with "points!"

You're right, that was made during a moment of extreme sleep deprivation and screaming newborn. Unfortunately, points is one degree shy of orange when it comes to rhyming as joints is the only one syllable word that really fits with it. If I get the time and motivation, I'll retool it.

B is for BTL-B Y wings

BTL-B's are armour plated

and have a bubble canopy.

Their proton weapon systems

add to the winning strategy.

C is for Carnor Jax

Flying an Interceptor
Painted blood red
No focus or evade
And now you are dead.

D is for Defender

The pride of the Empire,

with no other above.

But due to its cost,

it can't get any love.

E is for Engine Upgrade

This wonderful card

that so many rely on,

grants your small action bar

the boost action icon.

F is for Fat Han

This tubby Correlian

With fans so adoring

Also has detractors

Who say that he's boring

G is for Gunner

Reroll your dice,

in case you have missed.

They come up all blanks,

NOW I AM PISSED!

H is for Hound's Tooth

We like what we see

We can't wait to fly it

But what of its dial

And the Nashtah Pup Pilot?

I is for IG-88

A bounty hunter

that's a cold steel robot.

rules the table

when in twin mode: brobot.

J is for Janson

We met him on Hoth

He lassoed a walker

Then Wedge yelled, "Nice shot!"

K is for Klivian "Hobbie"

He is not sharp, charismatic,

handsome or well dressed.
But put him in a dog-fight

and he's never stressed.

L is for Lando

He escaped the Death Star,

after a daring attack.

But how did the Falcon,

get it's sensor dish back?

5 cookies if you see the X-Wing connection to that.

M is for Miranda Doni

Video game nostalgia
Micromanaging fun
Constantly switching power
Between shield and gun.

N is for N'dru Suhlak

N'dru is fun to fly,

Her ability is fun,

But because she's a '95

You'll always be on the run.

Edited by Millennium Falsehood

O is for Outmaneuver

Get on the tail

of Han or Ten Numb.

And they can't avoid

all the shots up their bum!

P is for Protons

If you want a bomb, rock-

et or torpedo,

Check out the protons

You might think they're neato

Q is for Qui-gon

Famed for his wisdom,

An unconventional knight,

A jedi master

Who lost just one fight

R is for R5-D8

Repairing hull damage

is an incredible boon.

Unless you're shot up by

a metallic moon.
