Predator-class Fighter
Ship Class: HeavyStarfighter
Ship Role: Space Superiority Starfighter/Interceptor
Ship Length: 6.4 meters
Agility (A): 4
Defensive (D): 2
Offensive (O): 2
Speed (S): 4
Special Gear: 0
Description:
The Predator-class fighter, also called TIE Predators and nicknamed Eyeballs by the Galactic Alliance, was a starfighter produced by Sienar Fleet Systems and used by the new Galactic Empire as of 130 ABY.
Considered a successor to the older TIE/IN interceptor, the Predator-class fighter was still highly maneuverable and heavily armed, but unlike most previous TIEs, it was also equipped with hyperdrives and a deflector shield generated through its blade-shaped wings. As with the earlier Chiss Clawcraft, these wings could adjust to a variety of positions, aiding the starfighter's maneuverability. They folded back fully for docking mode. However, the complex technologies packed inside the wings of the Predator were a maintenance nightmare. In addition, the standard redesigned viewport offered poor visibility due to its narrow horizontal panes separated by thick struts.
After much lobbying, the Imperial Navy convinced Sienar to produce Predator-class fighters with classic TIE-style cockpits that were flown by squadron leaders. Other pilots flew fighters with horizontal slats across the front of the central fuselage. It came equipped with four laser cannons.
