Tie Fighter

 

     The same mold was utilized for this version as the original Imperial Tie Fighters. Virtually all Tie Fighters had only a small amount of shielding to protect them from blasts. This made them very susceptible to destruction from enemy Fighter crafts. Throughout the  Star Wars Trilogy, Tie Fighters were seen, especially hovering around the Death Star Space Station.

     Specialized racks on the Star Destroyers were where they launched from during standard operating proceedures. The Missle Tubes had to be added as deemed necessary. An example of this is when the Admirals of the Imperial Navy determined the priority or safety of a large convoy during a mission. 

Tie Fighters were a very important aspect in the following skirmishes:

• Battle of Yavin
• Battle of Hoth
• Battle of Endor

     The Emperor was always given top priority and all of Tie Fighters escorting him would have the additional missle tubes installed. They were designed structually to support their weight on their wings and had no landing gear. The hexagonial six sided large panels were not Solar Panels as a lot of people were led to believe but Radiation Panels.
