To extend the sensor coverage of the fleet, a special variant of the easily modified Y-wing was used. Under Project Cadillac I, the prototype BTL-T2 Trainer was rebuilt to house a sensor array on the back of the main body. To compensate for the increased power demand the proton torpedo launchers were removed and power generators added instead. The sensor equipment was crude and bulky, and the fighter lacked the onboard computing power to shift rapidly through the vast amount of data. Thus, sensor data had to be transmitted back to the carrier where the sensor information was compiled into sensible information. The additional equipment reduced the performance of the already mediocre Ywing to the point where pilots referred to these as "eggs waiting to be cracked". Still, they fulfilled a vital role until replaced by E-1 Tracers and other better suited vessels. Many of the carrier fighter wings had at least one flight of these, and some of the squadrons aboard escort frigates also replaced part of their normal fighter complement with a couple of T2W´s. Several where still in service at the time of the Battle of Endor, but most were phased out of service soon after or relegated to second-line duty.
