Kalusian TIE Integration Program

The Kalusian TIE Integration Program was a program started by the Galactic Empire in 7 ABY as an attempt to create a more varied roster of TIE Fighter variants.

Inception
The program was originally devised by Moff Gerhad and Planetary Governor Shuivan as an attempt to generate more funding to the planet Kalusia. The program if enacted, would allow the ship-building company Vutrias-Calcoan Limited to develop a series of largely experimental TIE variant designs for usage in the Galactic Military.

Beginning
In 7 ABY the Senate agreed to let Vutrias-Calcoan Limited design a number of starfighters between 7 and 9 ABY. Soon after, the designers on Kalusia began to rapidly churn out ideas and designs, most of which would later be scrapped. In the space of 4 short months approximately 780 designs were officially filed as being viable for flying. Over the next few months, each design would be carefully examined in detail by a workforce of over 400 employees spread out among 50 groups.

Selection
In the waning months of 7 BBY the selection process was completed. Of the 788 designs originally considered, only 38 designs would be chosen to be more thoroughly designed and eventually built. The codenames for the models were as follows: Over the next year and a half at least one of every model would be built and extensively tested for flaws, discrepancies, or poor design.
