The Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 Starfighter was jointly produced by Incom and Subpro Corporations. Like their other starfighter designs of its time, such as the Z-95, PTB-625, and NTB-630, the ARC-170 has a narrow spaceframe flanked by large engines. By the advent of the Galactic Civil War, ARC-170’s can be found in both Imperial and New Republic fleets, where they are considered elite craft. Smaller governments and organizations also make use of the starfighter.
