The extremely expensive TIE/D Defender ( 4 ABY) introduced five years later was vastly improved, The TIE Defender was armed with four laser cannons, two ion cannons, two missile tubes and a tractor beam in addition to powerful shields and a hyperdrive. The mass-produced TIE/IN interceptor ( 1 BBY) featured four laser cannons and speed that was superior to an T-65 X-wing starfighter, but featured no deflector shields, leaving it extremely vulnerable in dogfights.
The E-wing (manufactured in 8 ABY, 9 years after the TIE/IN interceptor), surpassed the TIE Interceptor in manifold ways, being faster, better armed (with proton torpedoes) and equipped with deflector shields. Major galactic conflicts are also indicated in dotted lines for reference. Rebel Alliance/New Republic fighters ( blue) reveals that since the advent of the TIE/D Defender, there was a dearth in truly advanced TIE starfighter technology for decades. History Rationale for a new Imperial fighterĪ brief chronology of the introduction of new Imperial ( red) vs.
This lack of technological progress in Imperial fighter technology was largely attributable to the increasing turpitude and malaise that afflicted the Galactic Empire first due to the internecine strife between competing Imperial worlds, and later as it made increasingly-desperate last-ditch holding actions and strategic retreats as the New Republic made inroads into its territory.
#INTRUDER COMBAT TRAINING SWF SERIES#
By the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War in 29 ABY, the Imperial Navy had not gained a new space superiority fighter in over twenty-five years, with only minor auxiliary TIE series ships produced in the intervening time (i.e., the TIE/D automated starfighter), none of which ever saw widespread adoption. The Imperial fleet's mass-produced frontline interceptor, the TIE/IN interceptor, was first produced in 1 BBY, whereas the latest "high-technology" fighter craft of the TIE series, the TIE/D Defender, was introduced in 4 ABY. The TIE Intruder was conceived in an attempt to shore up the widening technological gap between the Galactic Alliance's fighter technology and the Imperial Remnant's. Unlike all preceding models of the TIE (Twin Ion Engine) fighter series, the TIE Intruder was distinguished by its triple ion engines, which afforded exceptional speed and manueverability by comparison to all TIE series fighters. The TIE Intruder, more formally known as the Triple Ion Engine ( T.I.E.) Intruder Space Superiority Starfighter, was the next-generation short-range interceptor deployed by the Imperial Navy in the aftermath of the Yuuzhan Vong War under the aegis of the Next-Generation TIE Dominance Program. Anonymous squadron commander from the 181 st Imperial Fighter Wing, reminiscing about the collapse of the Galactic Empire With both hands tied behind our back, little wonder we couldn't fight off the Rebels or the New Republic. After the TIE Defenders given after Hoth, we weren't given a new type of fighter for over two and a half decades.
