A distant descendent of the famed Incom T-65 X-Wing starfighter, the X-12 Nova-burst is a collaboration between the Incom and Subpro Corporations, whose renewed partnership sparks reminiscence of past achievements, such as the venerable Z-95 Headhunter and the ARC-170.

Like the X-Wing before, the X-12 utilizes the split "S-Foil" wing design, which serves a dual-purpose to maximize the targeting spread of its four heavy laser cannons and to vent excess heat from engines and the shield generators in the fuselage. The four heavy laser cannons are capable of tearing through most ray shields, and are stutter-fire capable to overwhelm dovin basal-equipped vessels (such as those of rogue Yuuzhan Vong ships) and/or gravitic manipulators. Two high-yield proton torpedo launchers give the X-12 significant stopping power against the particle shields of capital warships.

The X-12's high sublight speed and maneuverability make it a highly capable interceptor and dogfighter in the hands of an experienced pilot, and its powerful hyperdrive (coupled with a 24-jump coordinate capability with astromech droid) make the craft ideal for long-range inter-sector patrols, as well as hit-and-fade strikes against high value targets.

At present, the Incom/Subpro X-12 Nova-burst has been fielded as the choice space superiority starfighter of the Galactic Federation Defense Force, with at least one squadron aboard most naval vessels, surface-based GFSFC units, and among the defense forces of the allied governments of the Galactic Federation at large.
