X-wing

Contained a cylindrical droid socket behind the cockpit. Pilots of the Rebel Alliance wore orange pressure suits and helmets. These suits could be connected to the X-wing by a life-support teather allowing the filot to exit the vehicle in space. The lightweight pressure suit and closed-face emergency helmet would allow the pilot to survive a vacuum for several minutes. The standard cockpits contained an inclined, padded seat and controls to ignite the ship's fusion generator which produced a high-energy whine. 1
