| The TIE interceptor is a direct response to the Rebel Alliance’s development of faster and more dangerous starfighters. Hoping to develop a vehicle that could compete with the A-wing in both speed and maneuverability, Sienar Fleet Systems has invested huge sums into improving upon the standard TIE fighter’s existing twin ion engines. The resulting ion stream projectors allow TIE interceptors to execute tight turns and rolls not possible in most other starfighters. This complex engine system makes the TIE interceptor one of the fastest starfighter in the Imperial fleet, and it outperforms nearly every starfighter in the galaxy during dogfights. The TIE interceptor’s bent wings, an element lifted directly from the TIE Advanced prototype, give the starfighter a smaller profile and increased power. |
