B-wing starfighter

This:














Why is it called a B-wing when it is clearly a "T" lying on its side? We ask ourselves that question every morning, right before we try to drown our loneliness in drink.

Someone who knows way too much about this sort of thing might tell you that the B-wing starfighter is a swing-wing bomber designed by Admiral Ackbar and the Verpine; the rotating-cockpit design makes the ship unwieldy to maneuver, but the B-wing packs enough firepower to go after a capital class ship, and they made their debut at the Battle of Endor. However, we don't know that much about it, so we'll content ourselves with saying that it should be called a T-wing.
