TIE/IN Interceptor
Ship Class: Starfighter
Ship Role: Interceptor
Ship Length: 9.6 meters
Agility (A): 4
Defensive (D): 2
Offensive (O): 3
Speed (S): 5
Special Gear: 0
Description:
The TIE/IN starfighter, simply known as the TIE Interceptor or T/I,[10] was a TIE Series starfighter used by the Galactic Empire. The TIE Interceptor was identifiable by its arrow-shaped solar collection panels, a distinct difference from the hexagonal solar arrays of its predecessor, the TIE Fighter. The Interceptor was one of the fastest starfighters in the galaxy at its prime, nearly rivaling the Alliance's RZ-1 A-wing interceptor.
Due to their speed, distinct shape, and narrow profile in comparison to the TIE/ln starfighter (which was nicknamed "eyeball"), TIE Interceptors came to be referred to occasionally as "squints" by enemy pilots.
TIE Interceptor models were modified to carry four blaster cannons, replacing the original wingtip laser cannons. The twin chin-mounted laser cannons remained. The new model also came equipped with multi-purpose warhead launchers. These upgrades made the new model more of a multi-purpose fighter rather than an Interceptor, though it still retained its original name.
