Starhunter

TIE Starhunter

The TIE Starhunter was a further evolution of the TIE/In interceptor starfighter that saw use with the navy of the Imperial Remnant during the latter stages of the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War. Boasting more firepower, with heavy weapons in addition to laser cannons, the Starhunter also carried a deflector shield generator. It was operated by a single pilot.

History
Starhunters first saw widespread use during the closing weeks of the war, particularly during the Battle of Roche and the Battle of Shedu Maad.

Behind the scenes
The naming convention for the TIE Starhunter is unclear; the novel Invincible refers to it as simply "Starhunter", however it does state quite clearly that it is an evolution of the TIE Interceptor, and thus in the same line as its widely-used predecessor.
