电影



During the Clone Wars, as the Jedi Generals tore into space combat aboard their tiny Jedi starfighters, they often led loyal clone pilots through twisting maneuvers against the automated space warriors of the Confederacy. The clone pilots did not have the gift of the Force to time their precision attacks and stunning maneuvers. They instead relied on their raw skill and the cutting edge technology at their control.
克隆人战争期间，绝地将军驾驶小巧的绝地星际战斗机投入太空战时，常率领忠心的克隆人飞行员以变化莫测的战术对抗邦联的机器人太空战士。克隆人飞行员无法用原力天赋来把握精确攻击和惊人战术的时机。相反，他们依靠纯粹的技艺和最新的科技来驾驶。

While the robust ARC-170s served as heavy fire craft, the nimble V-wing fighters were better suited to dogfight engagements against the speedy vulture starfighters and tri-fighters. The needle-nosed craft could hold a single clone pilot, with a partially covered astromech droid providing navigation and in-flight repairs. Bracketing the wedge-shaped ship were a set of flat wings extending above and below the ship. The wings were on articulated collars that allowed them to rotate 90 degrees for landing. Two pairs of laser cannons were mounted on the wing struts, providing the V-wing with rapid snap-fire capability.
坚固的ARC-170是火力凶猛的飞船，而灵活的V翼战斗机更适合与快速的秃鹫星际战斗机和三联战斗机缠斗。这种尖头飞船能搭载一名克隆人飞行员，有一个部分掩蔽的宇航技工机器人进行导航和航行中的维修。一组平板机翼上下张开，紧贴楔形船体两侧。机翼装在铰链圈上，可以在着陆时旋转90度。两对激光炮装在机翼支柱上，为V翼提供快速的跟踪火力。

After the demise of the Galactic Republic, many of the V-wing squadrons were simply redecorated and reassigned to become some of the first starfighters of the Galactic Empire.
银河共和国灭亡后，许多V翼中队仅仅被重新涂装和重新部署，就成为银河帝国最早的一批星际战斗机。

衍生宇宙



Born to the development geniuses at Kuat Systems Engineering -- the same firm that crafted the Jedi starfighters -- the Alpha-3 Nimbus fighters were slow to first spread among the clone forces. Streamlined mass production techniques soon saw them replacing the V-19 Torrent as the preferred compact space superiority fighter.
作为夸特系统工程公司——绝地星际战斗机也是这家公司制造的——开发的天才产物，阿尔法-3“圣光”战斗机在克隆人部队中的最初部署工作很缓慢。简化改善后的大规模制造技术很快见证了它们取代V-19“激流”，成为首选的小型太空优势战斗机。

Walex Blissex, who worked as development lead on the Delta-7 Aethersprite project, saw the Nimbus as an opportunity to improve on what his perfectionist perception saw as flaws in the cutting edge Jedi fighter program. The vessel's combat computers saw reaction improvements designed to let the clone pilots keep up with the supernatural speeds of their Jedi leaders.
作为德尔塔-7“天外飞仙”项目的开发主管，威利克斯·布利塞克斯以其完美主义者的眼光从先进的绝地战斗机项目中发现不少瑕疵，他将“圣光”看作一次改进的机会。该飞船的战斗计算机得到了反应上的改进，被设计为保证克隆人飞行员能跟上其绝地长官超常的速度。

Mass produced V-wing fighters are too small to support a navicomputer and hyperdrive, though the fighter does carry a standard Q7-series astromech droid. Experimental V-wings, rumored to belong to an elite crimson-clad pilot brigade reporting directly to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, have been known to feature compact hyperdrives of limited capacity.
量产的V翼战斗机太小，不支持导航计算机和超空间驱动器，但仍搭载了一个标准的Q7系列宇航技工机器人。已知实验型的V翼安装了功能有限的小型超空间驱动器，据说它们属于直接向最高议长帕尔帕廷负责的精锐红衣飞行队。

幕后



Combining visual elements of the A-wing and the TIE fighter, the V-wing fighter is the first combat ship of the prequel trilogy to carry the letter-wing naming convention of many of the ship types in the original trilogy.
V翼战斗机结合了A翼和TIE战斗机的视觉元素，是前传三部曲中第一种以“字母+翼”方式命名的战斗飞船。许多正传三部曲里的飞船类型都以这种方式命名。

红衣飞行队。。。    也是议会卫队的一部分吧。。。
