V-wings were speedy and evasive targets, even for the advanced droid tri-fighters used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the last days of the Clone Wars. There were produced in limited numbers until 19 BBY. While they lacked the power of the ARC-170 starfighter, they made up for it in raw speed and agility.
They were most frequently deployed from Venator-class Star Destroyers and were typically the primary fighter aboard these vessels. V-wing fighters were often unleashed from warship hangars in large swarms, and were one of the most numerous starfighters in the Republic Navy late in the Clone Wars.
