The G was a unit of measurement of acceleration. For example, the missiles shot by an HMP droid gunship could experience an acceleration of over 10,000 G when making a turn.[1] The maximum acceleration of a TIE Advanced x1 was of 4,150 G, while that of a TIE/d "Defender" Multi-Role Starfighter was of 4,280 G.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
In the Star Wars IncrediBuilds booklets, the parameter expressed in Gs is described as the "maximum speed" of a craft.[3] However, in the more recent TIE Fighter Owners' Workshop Manual, the same parameter is labeled as "maximum acceleration."[2]
