V19 Torrent

The V19 Torrent is a small fighter used during the Clone Wars.
==Description==
The aerodynamic six-meter body of the V19 Torrent houses the ship's cockpit, life support system, and nose-cone missile launcher. The rest of the ship's major systems are housed in the 12-meter wings on either side, and on the nine-foot wing that extends below the ship -- which carries the ship's laser cannon. A thruster bisects each wing, serving not only for propulsion system but as hinges to allow the wings to fold up for landing.
==Reputation==
The V-19 Torrent is a starfighter popular with the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars. It is unique in that it has two pairs of folding airfoils that gives the ship added maneuverability and provides pilots with easy access to the cockpit's sliding canopy. The lower, hinged airfoils coupled with enhanced repulsorlift engines make the V-19 an exceptional vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter.
==History==
After prototypes proved to be successful in battle, mass production started on the V19 Torrent. Because it often took several months for Republic Navy pilots to become proficient with the Torrent's unique design features, the V19 Torrent did not become used heavily for a considerable length of time after its manufacturing. 
==Upgrades==
The V19 comes with one laser cannon and one concussion missile launcher. While it was originally manufactured, the V19 lacked a hyperdrive and was cast aside as a short-range fighter. With the addition of a class 1 hyperdrive, the V19 became excellent for escort missions.
