M52X U Wing Starfighter was created by Incom Corporation soon after the original U Wing was created in order to make it fully focused on combat.

 

And managed to create a Higley versatile Starfighter that is prone to speed and has the capability to fire its laser cannons even behind it when it is chased by enemy fighters.

The firing mods can be automatically done by the droid or manually by the pilot.

The guns can rotate 360dgrs wherever they are pointed. Empire pilots feared the M52X as it could strike from mid-maneuver during combat.

 

Where were these Starfighters during the Rebellion? Well, Incom Corporation was only able to produce 100 of them as the manufacturing was sabotaged by Palpatine's agents for good reason.

 

Some of the 100 M52X Starfighters were spotted at the rim of the galaxy, whoever engaged one in combat against a skilled pilot had a small chance of escaping.

The rebellion only got 40 during the war, used only in the most important of assault operations.

The M52X had no landing gear as it was supplied with an antigravity generator that could keep the ship above ground when stationary a similar technology found in N-1 Starfighter.
