Black One was a T-70 X-wing starfighter manufactured by the Incom-FreiTek Corporation. Like all T-70 X-wing fighters, Black One was armed with four Taim & Bak KX12 laser cannons. Black One was also equipped with ferrosphere paint which was used to jam enemy missile locks.

For the evacuation of D'Qar, Black One was equipped with an overdrive thruster. It was BB-8's favorite starship.

History


Resistance pilot Commander Poe Dameron used the X-wing during the Cold War with the First Order. During missions with Black Squadron the fighter became damaged several times: in the battle over a desert planet Dameron crash-landed Black One, therefore placing it out of commission for several missions until it was repaired by BB-8 and Ivee. When First Order Commander Malarus stole the fighter during the mission to Cato Neimoidia, BB-8 saw himself forced to crash-land Black One again to stop the enemy officer in the cockpit. While the fighter was being repaired onboard the Raddus and on D'Qar, Dameron flew a standard T-70. BB-8 eventually incorporated one of the processor units of the destroyed Ivee into the fighter.

Dameron flew it during the Battle of Takodana and the Battle of Starkiller Base, where he used it to destroy the First Order's superweapon, Starkiller Base. Black One saw action during the Evacuation of D'Qar where Poe destroyed the Fulminatrixs defense turrets to clear a path for the Resistance bombers.

Black One was destroyed by Kylo Ren during the Battle of Oetchi when he launched torpedoes into the starboard hangar of the Raddus from his TIE silencer.

Behind the scenes


Black One first appeared in the 2015 saga film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens.

"The Final Battle," a short story that adapts Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, uses Black One to depict Poe Dameron's X-wing fighter.
