Not even prototypes of the TIE Interceptor were a match for the X-Wings. The X-Wings first saw service in the Battle of Turkhana, in which the Imperials were unprepared for the so-called "Rebel secret weapon". After acquiring the codes, a taskforce landed on Fresia and successfully stole the four prototypes. Next, a strike team took C-3PO and R2-D2 to Wayland to acquire the codes necessary for bypassing the sentries that the Tyranny had deployed. This not only succeeded in luring the destroyer, but also slightly damaged the Imperials' ability to produce Star Destroyers due to the destruction of multiple orbital drydocks. The first part of the plan involved Captain Raymus Antilles taking a group of CR90 Corellian Corvettes to Kuat to create a distraction and lure the Star Destroyer Tyranny away from Fresia. A Rebel commando team helped Incom's senior design staff defect to the Alliance the designers revealed that four prototypes were being held on Fresia, thus launching the Fresia Campaign. When the X-Wing was in its final design stages, ISB (Imperial Security Bureau) agents began to suspect that members of Incom's design staff might have sympathies for the Rebel Alliance. The T-65B X-Wing was the last starfighter design produced by Incom Corporation before its seizure by the Empire. Yet it's a miracle that the Alliance had the fighter at all.
Many fighters had come along which were faster and more heavily armed, but the X-Wing had been assured its place in history because of its role in that stunning Alliance victory. The Rebel Alliance's X-Wing starfighter was one of the most advanced fighters of its day when Luke Skywalker flew one into battle against the Death Star.
