TIE Devastator

The V38 TIE Devastator Starfighter, or simply the TIE Devastator, is an adaptation of the lethal TIE Phantom with the characteristics of an X-wing.

Characteristics
While the second sector of Astragon's Navy has most of the powerful fightercraft, a few were deemed necessary to defend and support capital ships. The TIE Devastator is one such ship. This ship has a total of ten weapon mounts. The outward four are heavy blaster cannons, while a a pair of chin-mounted ion cannons make it more lethal. This combination of weapons allows it to lead starfghter squadrons with suprising efficiency.

These ships possess both shields and hyperdrive systems but no ordinance launchers. Optional weapon mounts are located on each wing; each wing has two mounts. The wings can adjust since they are on s-foil mounts to conserve power until needed. Usually these ships are found escorting carrier vessels like Venators and Mark IIs. These ships provide essential defense until they launch their massive quantities of starfighters. Devastators proceed to lead the launched ships.
