B-wing

The B-wing is the one of the largest starfighters in the fictional Star Wars universe. It has a somewhat ungainly appearance resembling, when fully unfurled, a seahorse with wings. It carries an exceedingly high amount of weapons, as part of its primary function as a fighter specifically designed to attack capital ships. The B-Wing carries three ion cannons, two proton torpedo launchers, one laser cannon, and two auto-blasters. It was designed by the Rebel Commander Ackbar.

It was seen in Return of the Jedi as a key Rebel craft in the Battle of Endor.
