TIE Protector

The TIE Protector is a stripped-down (and much cheaper) version of the TIE Defender.

Characteristics
The Protector utilized a standard TIE cockpit and kept the outward-bent TIE Avenger wings, but the upper third wing has been removed. The ion cannons and both ordinance launchers have also been removed. The hyperdrive and tractor beam projector have been removed. However, it still retains the Ls-7.2 laser cannons, shields, and its incredible agility, making it an outstanding interceptor.

The TIE Protector is armed with four laser cannons and no other weapons. Carrier ships must transport them across the galaxy to battle locations.
