[edit]This was Koensayr's first attempt to make a hyperspace capable starfighter. It was only a partial success. The main fault was in making a starfighter with mediocre performance. Nevertheless was this the only modern hyperspace-capable fighter available to the Alliance in the beginning. The BTL-F1 has a slightly smaller cockpit than other Y-Wing variants and has a power booster generator placed right behind the pilot instead of a gunner. When the higher performing X-wing came into service, many BTL-F1's where converted into BTL-T2 Trainers. However, the increased demand for starfighters after the Battle of Yavin meant that plenty of the BTL-F1 variant continued in active duty as fighters, although most of them served in low-threat areas.
