The December update for Star Wars Squadrons is live, and it not only includes bug fixes but two new Starfighters. These starfighters feature one for the New Republic and the Galactic Empire. The New Republic gets the B-wing Starfighter and the Galactic Empire receives the TIE/d “Defender” multi-role Starfighter. The B-wing is categorized as a Bomber-class Starfighter and the TIE defender is a Fighter. With the update also comes custom matches which will allow one to five players per side across two teams to play on any maps on both Dogfight and Fleet Battles. You can look over the general patch notes below, but you will still probably want to click that link and have a look at the table.
