Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wings were a type of starfighter utilized by the Empire. One of the first general purpose fighters used by the Imperial Navy, the Star Wing performed well against Rebel forces and was an excellent craft. Unfortunately, its unique position in Imperial forces left it to operate without comprable support, keeping assault gunboats less popular that TIE fighters.

Roger Dean, ‘Blue Demon’, 1972 ”Used in 1974 by the band Gravy Train for their album ’Staircase to the day’. I painted this because I loved the colours of the background it was that simple. An interesting band I always thought that they should have done better. Strangely enough the most copied part of the album cover was the logo that I made for “Staircase to the Day” with the steps floating up into the sky.” Source
