TIE/b Boarder
Ship Class: Starfighter
Ship Role: Boarding operations
Ship Length: 7.8 meters
Agility (A): 4
Defensive (D): 2
Offensive (O): 2
Speed (S): 4
Special Gear: 1 (Boarding Equipment)
Description:
This TIE variant was composed of three fuselage cylinders in an arrangement nearly identical to the TIE Heavy Bomber, but lacking the ventral ordnance pod. In place of the concave solar array wings of the TIE/sa bomber, this variant was equipped with outward-canted wing panels very similar to those of the TIE/D Defender or an inverted mounting of those on the TIE/ad starfighter.
Like those fighters or the TIE/IN interceptor, it had energy weapons at the tips of its wing panels, though it was only seen to use ion cannons. The port-side pods both carried two large projectile launchers which fired a unique type of boarding pod that could only carry Terror Troopers and/or Battle Droids. In total, it could fire four pod's in a salvo and could carry up to 8 pods.
Operated by a single TIE pilot, the ships were hyperdrive-equipped, with sufficient range to travel from Kamino to the Itani Nebula. Their twin ion engines could keep pace with Slave I at attack speed.
