Eta-5 interceptor

The Eta-5 interceptor was a type of snubfighter in use by the Galactic Alliance Navy as of 40 ABY. It was powered by twin ion engines. It posses top of the line speed and manueverability like most TIEs of their era.

It was equipped with minimal shielding, unusual for the TIE model. This is certainly endemic of the shift in socio-political mindset that Imperial Engineers have gone through decades removed from the influence of the Emperor. It was also equipped with dual fire-linked concussion missile launchers, giving it considerable punching power when it needed to engage small capital ships.

Wedge Anitlle's daughter Syla Antilles choose this model when she entered the Galactic Alliance military to assert a different path than her father's classic X-Wing series.
