The Delta wing was designed on a remote outpost of the Sorosuub economic empire, Edic Bar. The designer, Ryll Narbe, once a prominent starship designer set out to prove he was still a credible employee, created the Delta Wing to prove himself once again to his superiors. Technically the D-Wing was an unmitigated success, in testing it out-performed both Incom’s Headhunter starfighter, and Sorosuub’s own flagship starfighter project the G-59 Cannibalizer. However the sheer cost of producing the Delta Wing meant that the corporation decided not to go into mass production with the starship. It would simply not be cost effective enough to warrant continuing development. However, a few prototypes were built and donated to the Cularin Militia as a gesture of good faith by Sorosuub. This has lead to the ship being nicknamed the Cularin Starfighter.
