TIE/s Smasher

The TIE/s Smasher is an advanced starfighter used by the Astragon Navy.

Characteristics
The TIE Smasher is built around the Super Heavy laser cannon. Yet, the reason it is so powerful is that each heavy laser cannon bolt is encased in a plasma field, improving its power and penetration of enemy ships, hence the "Super Heavy" name.

A TIE Smasher mounts two of these Heavy Plasma Laser Cannons on its frame. Each has the power of a proton torpedo, but there is no ammunition. Thus, it can quickly dish out far more power than a Bomber could. The plasma field can also allow it to get through energy shields from a ship of about corvette-size.
