The TIE/dg starfighter,[1] also known as the TIE dagger,[3] or the Sith TIE fighter, was a type of Sith TIE line starship that was forged in secret by sinister forces. It saw use during the war between the First Order and the Resistance as a new generation of starfighter. It was manufactured by Sienar-Jaemus Fleet Systems and had red designs. It had a cockpit, two triangular-shaped wings that featured solar collectors,[1] and twin ion engines.[2] Its appearance gave the vessel a menacing profile.[1]
