Presenting the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter,Also known as the V-Wing Starfighter or Nimbus Starfighter.
The V-Wings can be seen towards the end of Episode III first as escorts to the Emperor's personal shuttle when he went to pick up the "remains" of Anakin Skywalker, and then a bit after when several of them are seen patrolling the space around the construction of the first Death-Star - which would take almost 19 years.
Developed by Kuat Industries, the V-Wing were developed at the same time as the Eta-2 Actis-Class Jedi Interceptor (Which replaced the Delta-7 Jedi Interceptor whose nose cone the V-Wing draws inspiration from) hence both fighters employ S-foils. But unlike the Eta-2 Jedi Interceptor whose S-Foils are flush against its hull, the V-Wing's S-foils run parallel to the body of the starfighter and open up like a "vee" to run perpendicular to the body of the V-Wing - hence the name "V-Wing."
