TIE/sf space superiority fighter

"I always wanted to fly one of these things."

- Poe Dameron

The TIE/sf space superiority fighter was a starfighter model used by the First Order, a specialized version of the TIE/fo space superiority fighter. It was a two-seater unlike the previous TIE models, and was outfitted with enhanced weapons and sensor systems as well as hyperdrives and deflector shields. The TIE/sf was reserved for members of the First Order's elite Special Forces. On the lower side of the vehicle, directly below the primary fuel tank, was a turret containing a pair of laser cannons and a mag-pulse warhead launcher.

Characteristics
"Use the toggle on the left to switch between missiles, cannons, and mag pulse -- use the sight on the right to aim, triggers to fire!''" "''This is very complicated."

- Poe Dameron and FN-2187 shortly before their escape from the Finalizer

A two-seat strike fighter used by the First Order's elite Special Forces pilots, the TIE/sf boasted weapons far more powerful than a standard TIE, combining laser cannons with a heavy turret and warhead launcher. Special Forces TIEs were equipped with hyperdrives, deflector shields and high-yield cells that provided additional power to onboard systems. These versatile attack ships were used for both reconnaissance and combat operations.
