The E-wing type C was created as powerful offensive bomber in tactical situations. The hyperdrives was removed and the wings elongated slightly to allow room for ordinance "hardpoints" to carry various payloads of warheads. The type c could be quickly configured and loaded up, then launched into a battle. They were designed specifically to be carried and launched from capital ships and carriers into a battle, for use against enemy capital ships. The ship is also slightly slower and much less agile than the typical E-wing, as a result of the extra ordinance, however it is still superior to the ancient x-wing. The Type C was actually a prototype for some of the systems that would later be used in the K-Wing bomber by Sienar Fleet Systems.
