Forum:KB:TIE Bombers against Confederate remnant?

Yes another Battlefront question.

In an introductory cutscene, TIE bombers are depicted as being used by Imperial forces against Gizor Dellso's fleet. One of the mission objectives or tasks in that parrticular campaign, is to use "bombers" to attack the captal ship. Obviously the clone is referrring to the TIE bombers at your disposal.

Since the Battle of Mustafar took place sometime during the first decade of imperial rule, is it canon to have TIE bombers in the imperial fleet at that time? If TIE shuttles and boarding craft were available before the Battle of Yavin, isn't it somewhat erronious to say the TIE bomber was derived from Vader's TIE Advanced prototype? As the shuttles and the boarding craft are essentially the same craft with different interiors and equipement etc in the portside pod are they not? 40 Year Old Virgin 04:56, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
