The Empire, at the behest of Lord Vader, has spent countless man hours tweaking the designs of their TIE engines. No colors or customizations are available. Imperial Navy Vessels all conform to Imperial design standards. The TIE interceptor’s bent wings, an element lifted directly from the TIE Advanced prototype, give the starfighter a smaller profile and increased power. 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 resulting ion stream projectors allow TIE interceptors to execute tight turns and rolls not possible in most other 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 TIE interceptor is a direct response to the Rebel Alliance’s development of faster and more dangerous starfighters.
