So far I'm looking forward to Rouge One, from all the trailers I've seen it looks like a kick ass film and we get introduced to two new ships, the Tie Striker, U-Wing and a possible Imperial X-Wing Prototype so here's my take.
The Tie Striker from what me and Khajiit could dig up its mostly a planetary patrol and cargo (possibly a troop transport as well) and therefore probably not suited for heavy space combat like the regular tie fighters or interceptors but they could be used if needed as a last ditch effort.
Next is the U-Wing and from what I gather much like the Striker it's mostly a sub-orbital troop transport and close support craft (think A-10 warthog if the A-10 could carry troops). The U-Wing could operate in space but I don't think its meant for heavy space combat like the X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing and B-Wing are.
Lastly from what I think is an Imperial prototype X-wing
seen here and the Dan-o Channel on YouTube kinda agrees with me on, this might be the Imperial's only X-wing and I say that cause from what I've gathered from SW lore the X-Wing was intended for the Galactic Empire but the Incom Corporation being sympathetic to the Rebels gave them some X-Wings but nothing in lore says that the Empire did at least get one and since this Rogue One X-wing has Imperial Colors that's why I think it's the Empire's only X-wing...but that's just a theory---A STAR WARS THEORY! Thanks for watching
