Lego 8088 Star Wars ARC-170 Starfighter from "The Clone Wars" was a heavy starfighter/bomber widely used by the Republic navy in the latter days of the Clone Wars. The ARC in its name stood for Aggressive ReConnaissance starfighter. The ARC-170 was a predecessor to the T-65 X-Wing starfighter. Similar to the designs of its time, the ARC starfighter had a narrow spaceframe flanked with large engines. In addition, an S-foil system assisted in radiating heat and aided the starfighter's shielding, which provided increased stability during atmospheric flight. The front deflector shield projectors dispersed heat generated from air resistance allowed the ARC-170 to attain super sonic speeds in atmospheric flight. The ARC-170 differed from other starfighter designs of the Clone Wars era, which were smaller, faster, and more maneuverable, thus sacrificing heavy weapons, shields and hyperdrives. Conversely, the ARC starfighter was large, rugged, and able to carry out long indepenent operations. It measured 14.5 meters in length, 22.6 meters in width, height of 4.78 meters, and a maximum speed of 44.000 kph with deflector shields activated. The ARC has a hyperdrive range of 5,000 light years, countermeasures such as shielding from enemy fire and powerful sensors, scanners and jamming devices. The armament consisted of two forward-mounted laser cannons, two rear mounted laser cannons, proton torpedo launcher capable of launching six torpedoes. The crew included a pilot, co-pilot, gunner and an R2 series astromech droid.
