Capsule: The M-wing was a very preliminary fighter design by the Rebel
Alliance.  It was stolen from the Echo Base computer during the capture
of Hoth, and updated to Imperial technology.  It now serves as a heavy
bomber, and serves very well.  The reborn Emperor used these in his
failed campaign to destroy the Rebellion.
        The M-wing is a heavy assault platform of which the Empire
launches its most important attacks.  It has a triple laser cannon setup,
and an ion cannon for flexibility.  However, its most important feature
is the warhead launcher, which can fire any missile, torpedo, rocket or
bomb in the Empire's arsenal.  This makes the M-wing ideal for missions
where one requires a starfighter interdiction, and the next a cruiser to
be destroyed.  The M-wing cannot replace the venerated Missile Boat, but
it is a lot less expensive, and can (usually) still give the punch
needed.
        Tactical Deployment: The M-wing is deployed as a standard TIE
flight or squadron, but can be deployed in pairs or singly, if wished.
