TIE/IT Interdictor starfighter

The TIE Interdictor was a heavy bomber in service to the Empire. Its wings and command module were nearly identical to those found on a TIE Bomber. However, the command module was flanked by two twin ordinance pods providing it with four times more destructive capability than standard TIE Bombers. The lower two ordinance pods had bombing chutes allowing the Interdictor to drop multiple bombs at once. Each of the four pods also had a missile port, allowing for four warheads to be launched at once.

This design, for whatever reason, did not catch on and it is unknown as to why the TIE Interdictor was not in greater service in the Imperial Navy.
