Let’s not dillydally on this for too long because there are a whole mess of words to scroll through below, all of which have been gleaned from the Hangar screen where you can change the loadout and pick cosmetic options for your ships in Star Wars: Squadrons.

There are six categories for every New Republic ship, with multiple entries per category, which adds up to a lot of Component options, some of which are unique to specific classes. Read on for the full breakdown of Components for the X-wing (Fighter), Y-wing (Bomber), A-wing (Interceptor), and U-wing (Support) starfighters.

Hyperjump over to our companion articles on why the Imperials have better ships by default in Squadrons and a full breakdown of every Component for the Galactic Empire starfighters.

The descriptions, values, and total number of Components for the New Republic starfighters is likely to change before Star Wars: Squadrons releases in October. When Squadrons launches, you can play it on PC, PlayStation 4 (with VR for both platforms) or Xbox One, and we reckon it'll be playable when the next-gen Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 launch, too.

All X-wing Components in Star Wars: Squadrons

The X-wing is the Fighter for the New Republic and its Components in Squadrons are split across six core categories, with a mix of some already unlocked and available to use, and others that need to be purchased with earnable Requisition points.

The text, descriptions, and values are all transcribed directly from a preview build of Squadrons.
