TIE Advanced x1

The TIE Advanced starfighter was used as Darth Vader's primary attack vessel during engagements with the Rebel Alliance. The ship has several notable improvements over the standard TIE Fighter, including an advanced targeting system, a more durable hull, and a cache of cluster missiles. It is also suspected that the ship possesses technology that is attune to the Force, and thus piloting is intended for Sith Lords exclusively. Likewise, the TIE Advanced was likely not mass produced, and is almost always escorted by Fighters or TIE Interceptors.
