Vehicle (Starship)

The TIE interceptor was designed specifically to counteract the Rebel Alliance X-wing. To increase speed and firepower, the designers at Sienar gave it large engines, more powerful energy converters, and a package of four fire-linked laser cannons. Although put into production before the Battle of Yavin, these fighters weren't in general use until just before the Battle of Endor.
