Capsule:
The first Y-Wings modified for suppression of enemy air defenses where BTL-S3s which became known as BTLE5s. One of the few external signs of conversion was the presence of several antennas on the fuselage, but otherwise they retained the external configuration of the S3 variant. The main difference is the special in-built computer and sensing arrays, which helps to pinpoint threats and is considered vital to its mission profile.
However, it can also carry specially adapted equipment on the wing pylons and in the semi-recessed missile housings. The E5 variant of the Y-Wing is also known as the "Wild Weasel", since it scurries all over a combat scene, irritating larger enemies and making trouble for smaller. It lacks sufficient internal volume to house more advanced systems and control boxes and was therefore only produced by the field-conversion of some redundant S3s until the advent of the specially designed BTL-E9. The E5 was deployed some months before the Battle of Yavin.
