"I say let the Imperials keep coming, because every time a new admiral crawls out of the Outer Rim or some Imperial goon finds a lost superweapon, Rogue Squadron gets a new starfighter. Seems like a good deal to me." ―General Wedge Antilles

“我说让那些帝国军队来吧，因为每当有一位新任海军上将从外围空间爬出来，或者一些帝国的呆子找到了遗失的超级武器，侠盗中队就能配备新式星际战斗机。看起来对我来说是份不错的交易。”-韦奇•安蒂列斯将军

The E-wing escort starfighter was a single-pilot starfighter developed by FreiTek Inc. It was the first fighter designed entirely under the support of the New Republic.

E翼式星际护航战斗机是由佛雷泰克公司研制的单人星际战斗机。它是第一架完全由新共和国支持研发设计的战斗机。

On paper, the E-wing could match or exceed the performance of the preceding X-wing series in nearly every respect and was originally intended to supplant the older design in New Republic service. However, the craft suffered from significant problems when first deployed among front-line squadrons, including malfunction issues with the laser cannons and the new R7 astromech units. As a result, many pilots would continue to prefer upgraded versions of the venerable X-wing.

在设计图纸上，E翼在几乎所有的方面都不亚于它的前任战斗机——X翼系列，它也是设计在新共和国服役的战斗机。然而，在前线中队初次服役时，战斗机存在严重的问题，包括激光炮与新式R7航天技工机器人的故障。因此，许多飞行员更喜欢驾驶已经升级改造过古旧的X翼式战斗机。

Despite these initial problems, improved models of the E-wing would see wide spread use by the New Republic, particularly by the Fifth Fleet, and later by the Galactic Alliance. They would play a significant role in every engagement from the Black Fleet Crisis, through the Yuuzhan Vong War, and beyond.

尽管早期存在诸多问题，改进型的E翼式战斗机还是在共和国被广泛使用，尤其是后期在银河联盟服役的第五舰队。它们在黑色舰队危机，遇战疯战争，以及之后都发挥了重要的作用。

By the time of the Second Galactic Civil War, the E-wing had matured into an excellent starfighter design and equipped several elite squadrons of the Galactic Alliance. However, it never achieved the popularity or wide spread use of the X-wing.

在第二次银河内战时期，E翼式战斗机的设计成熟使得它在银河联盟中装配了几个精英中队。然而，它远没有X翼式战斗机使用的广泛。

Characteristics
特征

The E-wing was considered an excellent combination of firepower, maneuverability, speed, and armor, but initial models required the use of the R7-series astromech droid, which was exclusively built for the E-wing.

E-翼被认为是火力，机动性，速度与装甲的完美结合，但是早期出厂的型号需要安装唯一为它设计的R7系列航空技工机器人。

The spaceframe of the E-wing was surrounded by two aerodynamic foils which provided stability and increased weapons ability. The nosecone contained the starfighter's powerful sensors, while a concealed astromech droid could easily be positioned midway through the craft. Directly in front of the astromech slot was the cockpit.

E翼的空间构架由空气动力叶片环绕，它能为战斗机提升稳定性，还能提升武器能力。战斗机的锥形头部安装了强大的侦测器，航天机器人能够隐蔽的放置在机身的中部。在机器人安置舱的前面就是驾驶舱。

The fighter was heavily armed with three laser cannons and one proton torpedo launcher with a magazine of sixteen torpedoes. Like most Rebel designs, the lasers were spread out and could be set to converge at varying distances.

战斗机又三门激光炮以及内含16枚质子鱼雷弹仓的发射器。与许多义军设计相同的是，激光炮被分散安置，这样使它们汇聚一点以适应不同距离的需要。

A single E-wing cost 185,000 credits.
一台E翼造价为18万5千星际币。

Much of the great cost of the E-wing came from the use of the R7 droid, a much more sophisticated and expensive astromech than the classic R2 and R5 astromechs. Later models of the E-wing starfighters were however able to interface with earlier astromech models, such as an R2 or R5 unit.

E翼造价中的大部分来自R7机器人，该型机器人比起经典的R2与R5的机器人更复杂，也更昂贵。后期E翼的机型可以兼容早期的航天机器人，例如R2与R5。

History
历史



The Republic introduced the E-wing during Grand Admiral Thrawn's campaign to rebuild the fallen Empire. The fighter later served in the fight against the "resurrected" Palpatine. Built with cutting-edge weapons, shielding, and propulsion systems, the fighter was extremely powerful and well-rounded. It was intended as an escort fighter and could also serve as a medium-range assault craft. It had enough speed to counter TIE/In starfighters and had better armor than other New Republic starfighters, including the X-wing. They were used by the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances during the Second Galactic Civil War, during early skirmishes with Corellia.

在与索龙重建堕落帝国的战役期间，共和国引进了E翼战斗机。战机之后又用于对抗复活的帕尔帕廷。战斗机由高科技武器，防护与推进系统组装，这使得它实力十分强劲。它被设计为护航机，因此也可以被看作中程攻击机。它的速度足以对抗“钛”式拦截机，装甲比包括X翼在内的其它共和国战斗机更好。它们在第二次银河内战以及早期与科雷利亚的遭遇战中，被银河自由联盟使用。

Development
改进



The E-wing had some initial teething problems relating to the placement of the wing lasers near the outboard engines. The synthetic Tibanna gas used for the lasers tended to degrade at accelerated rates, which swiftly rendered those guns near-useless (and cutting gun firepower to a third). Rebel engineers came up with a temporary solution during the World Devastator assault on Mon Calamari. Those problems were eventually resolved and the fighter entered fleet service. It is known to have served at least with the New Republic's Fifth Fleet as the primary fleet space superiority fighter. When the Fifth Fleet was moved to the Koornacht Cluster during the Black Fleet Crisis, many E-wings saw action against the Yevetha in the conflict that ensued.

早期，E翼在更换舷外引擎旁边的激光炮时有些问题。激光消耗的合成提班纳气体有可能会降低加速速率。这很快会使武器变得无用（甚至会切断火力）。在“灭世者”（超级武器之一）进攻曼•卡拉玛尔期间，义军工程师提出了一项临时解决方案。这些问题最终解决了，战机在舰队中服役。它作为新共和国的主力舰队——第五舰队中作为优等战机服役。当舰队在黑色舰队危机，前往Koornacht星群时，许多E翼飞行员在冲突中对抗夜文森。



Four major models appeared to have been designed; the last (Series IV) was introduced around the time of the capture of Coruscant by the Yuuzhan Vong. By that point in the war, the XJ X-wing was rapidly equipping most squadrons in the massive military expansion; the more sophisticated E-wing may have been limited to some elite squadrons. The Series IV E-wing remained in service through the transition from New Republic to Galactic Alliance, and was still in operation as of the Second Galactic Civil War.

总共设计了四种机型；在科洛桑与遇战疯对抗时，最新的（即第四型）机型被引入。在战争的关键时期。巨大的军力扩张使得XJ X翼式战机中很快配备到了绝大多数中队中；复杂的E翼仅被几个精英中队使用。第四型E翼在新共和到银河联盟转型时期服役，在第二次银河内战中依旧活跃。

第一次翻译，质量还未及论坛几位元老的水平，我尽力而为。哪里翻译有不妥之处，请指正，谢谢！

请教一个问题，Tibanna gas, Koornacht Cluster与astromech怎么翻译更妥当？

astromech可以译为"宇航技工机器人"
