WEG Star Wars RPG Stats [X-Wing: Alliance | X-Wing vs TIE Fighter | TIE Fighter | X-Wing | RPG ]   Name: TIE Cyclone Weaponary: 4 Laser Cannons, 2 Ion Cannons   The Second of the NEO Imperial TIE's based on the TIE Interceptor the Cyclone features three sets of solar collection panels mounted at equilateral points around the fighters cockpit. The Cyclone uses the standard TIE cockpit, drive pod, and wing braces. The solar collector panels have been elongated and bent, providing extra power while not limiting the pilot field of vision. The solar panels appear to be "dagger-shaped", making the Cyclone far more intimidating while giving it a smaller profile, making it harder for opposing gunner to target. For weaponry, the Cyclone has four laser cannons mounted at the end of the two upper solar panels, and two ion laser cannons, one at the end of the lower solar panel. Advanced targeting software gives the pilot greater fire accuracy even during complex manuevers. Sources: Gorden, Greg. Imperial Sourcebook. West End Games. June 1994
