Y-Wings are devastating in close-quarters combat, where their durability allows them to withstand several blasts. The Y-Wing is a multipurpose vessel with secondary mission profile as a light bomber. As the Alliance got more X-Wings, Y-Wing fighters were increasingly being used for raids on Imperial convoys, rather than engagements with TIE Fighters. Two squadrons of Y-Wings were used at the Battle of Yavin, where the first Death Star was destroyed. Rebel Alliance Y-Wings saved thousands of lives by holding off Imperial TIE Bombers during the Siege of Ank Ki'Shor. They played a prominent role in the Battle of Vnas at Duro and the First Battle of Ord Biniir. Before the superior X-Wing was introduced, Y-Wings were the flagship fighters of the Rebel Alliance.
