TIE/LN starfighter

This small, short-range fighter is the second most visible representation of the Empire’s ability to project its will. Twin ion engines provide these fighters with their name and the distinctive howl of their approach through atmospheres. Although the TIE/LN’s armament and maneuverability make them feared throughout the galaxy, these vessels are particularly fragile and unshielded. Imperial pilots rely on courage, skill, and the support of their companions when engaging any enemy foolish enough to challenge the Emperor’s will.
