Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1

Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1 was the starfighter used by Darth Vader in Black Squadron during and prior to the Battle of Yavin. It was a modified early prototype of the TIE Advanced x1 line. During the battle over the first Death Star, it was damaged by cannon fire from the Millennium Falcon. Vader was forced to make a hyperspace jump to a planet where he could land safely. After being hit by small asteroids, it eventually crashed on Vaal.

Characteristics
The TIE Advanced x1 had better shielding and was faster than the standard TIE Fighter. It was also capable of carrying secondary weapons such as cluster missiles.
