^Bursting from Imperial hangar bays in gnat-like clouds are the standard starfighters of the Imperial arsenal -- the Twin Ion Engine craft known as the [TIE starfighter]. The single-seater short-range vessel lacks a hyperdrive, and as such requires deployment from launch bases and capital ships. It features two fire-linked laser cannons chin-mounted on the ball-shaped cockpit. 
^
^[TIE fighters] were typically employed en masse to make up for their shortcomings. Speedy and maneuverable, these fighters are nonetheless fragile. Though hard to hit, even a glancing blow can destroy a TIE. 
^
^Though [TIEs] presented a formidable challenge to pirates and civilian craft, the skilled pilots of the [Rebel Alliance] made short work of them in combat. The Alliance workhorse, the [T-65 X-wing starfighter], continually bested the TIE in numerous engagements. As the Galactic Civil War raged on, the standard TIE arsenal was supplemented with more advanced and specialized craft, such as the fearsome [TIE interceptor] and the dedicated [TIE bomber]. 
^
^TIE production was extremely modular and automated, as the Sienar foundries churned out countless starfighters to fuel the insatiable Imperial war machine. Variant models of the basic TIE include the [TIE/rc] (a model with advanced sensors and communication gear for reconnaissance missions), the [TIE/fc] (equipped with accurate fire control and target designation for long-range naval bombardments), the [TIE/gt] (with an enlarged hull to deliver heavy ordnance).
