Legend

built by Seinar Fleet Systems, this version of the TIE fighter is a double-hulled bomber ship with bent wings for increased stability. It is 7.8 meters in large, is a single-pilot craft, and can make 80 MGLT at sublight speeds. It was designed for surgical strikes against ground and deep-space targets. It suffers in maneuverability due to its double-hulled configuration, but when complemented by TIE Fighters or TIE Interceptors, it makes a lethal combination. They have enhanced targetting capability, making them much more accurate than many capital ships. These ships eventually evolved into the Scimitar assault bomber. It boasts the following shipboard systems: Seinar Fleet Systems P-s4 Twin Ion Engines, Seinar Fleet Systems N-s4 NavCom Unit, 2 Seinar Fleet Systems L-s1 Laser Cannons, Seinar Fleet Systems M-s3 Concussion Missile Launchers (2 racks of 4), Seinar Fleet Systems I-a2b Solar Ionization Reactor, Seinar Fleet Systems F-s3.2 Avionics Control, Seinar Fleet Systems T-s7b Targeting Computer, Seinar Fleet Systems T-s5 Proton Torpedo Launchers (2 racks of 2), Titanium Alloy Hull (rated at 50 RU), Quadanium Steel Armored Solar Panels.
