| The TIE-Gunship was originally a field modification. It linked 2 TIE-Fighter pods with a set of solar-array wings. The right pod housed an extensive array of targeting sensors and weapons, consisting of 2 fixed lasers, 2 missile launchers and 1 torpedo launcher, as well as 2 more lasers and a single ion-cannons in a rotating turret. The wings were notched to give the turret weapons a 100 degree arc of fire. With a better performance than the TIE-Bomber, the TIE-Gunship proved useful as a fast attack fighter and escort ship for the TIE-Bomber. The modification was adapted and produced as a conversion by Sienar Systems.
