TIE Interceptor
Sienar Fleet Systems TIE InterceptorThe TIE interceptor is a direct response to the Rebel Alliance’s development of faster and more dangerous starfighters. Hoping to develop a vehicle that could compete with the A-wing in both speed and maneuverability, Sienar Fleet Systems has invested huge sums into improving upon the standard TIE fighter’s existing twin ion engines. The resulting ion stream projectors allow TIE interceptors to execute tight turns and rolls not possible in most other starfighters. This complex engine system makes the TIE interceptor one of the fastest starfighter in the Imperial fleet, and it outperforms nearly every starfighter in the galaxy during dogfights. The TIE interceptor’s bent wings, an element lifted directly from the TIE Advanced prototype, give the starfighter a smaller profile and increased power.

Imperial Guard TIE Interceptor
The Empire, at the behest of Lord Vader, has spent countless man hours tweaking the designs of their TIE engines. Naturally only the highest ranking pilots have access to these state of the art engines and panel designs. The Imperials have also taken a cue from their Rebel equals by incorporating color in the design of their Royal Guard Interceptor, using a deep red paint to impart a menacing and fearsome feeling to all challengers.
This rare starship borrows the distinctive crimson color of the Emperor’s Royal Guard. It is believed that the craft were commissioned by the Emperor himself – most likely via contract with a clandestine subsidiary of the Seinar Fleet Systems manufacturing interest. The objective was to create a more powerful and more maneuverable version of the TIE Interceptor available exclusively to the Emperor’s Royal Guard. The custom hue of the durasteel plating indicates that the pilot is one of the Emperor’s personal guards and is intended to drive fear of certain death into the hearts of any potential aggressor.
