TIE Fighter

The Sienar Systems TIE/LN Fighters were used by the Galactic Empire during the Galctic Civil War. They were only armed with a pair of twin laser cannons coupled with a powerful sensor suite. Lacking shields, proper life-support systems (pilots have to wear pressure suits), and a hyperdrive (almost all fighters in the TIE series required a carrier ship) the TIE/LN fighters were outgunned and out-shielded, and outranged by their counterparts, the X-Wing fighter, prompting the development of the TIE/IN Interceptor.
