TIE/mg Mining Guild starfighters,^[4] also known as Mining Guild TIE fighters,^[2] were modified TIE/ln space superiority starfighters^[3] that the Mining Guild was allowed to use due to its association with the Galactic Empire.

CharacteristicsEdit

In order to make the fighters clearly distinct from the ones in direct service of the Empire, they had a yellow color scheme. They also had a notch cut in their stabilizers, giving them only eight solar collectors instead of twelve, which gave them improved visibility, but greatly diminished their combat capabilities and maneuverability.^[2] They were equipped with basic shielding to protect the investment in the equipment and training of the pilots.^[6] The Mining Guild also retrofitted the starfighter with specialized sensors to detect and analyze valuable resources.^[6]

RoleEdit

The Mining Guild used TIE/mg starfighters to patrol their territory and prevent theft of valuable materials and gasses. They were also used to scan for precious minerals and gasses.^[6]

HistoryEdit

The TIEs were used at the Mining Guild's Asteroid Belt Gas Refinery, and saw use as a defense during a heist of the refinery undertaken by the Spectres.^[3]
