Super TIE/ln Fighter

The Super TIE/In is not an example of current TIE technology. Rather it is an example of isolated design efforts by the Maw Installation Imperials to improve their TIE's without input from Sienar Fleet Systems.

There were only a few dozen of these TIE varients in the command of Admiral Daala at the time that Han Solo encountered the Maw Installation and Admiral Daala herself designated these TIE variants as interceptors and were dubbed Super TIE's.

The Super TIE contain new powerfl engines and improoved targeting capabilities. In appearance and basic function it appears to look much like the regular TIE, except that the Super TIE has a slightly built up engine nacelle.

Back in Imperial Space with the Super TIE's and TIE Interceptor put side by side the Interceptor is an overall better starfighter.
