TIE Reaper

The TIE Reaper was a model of heavy starifghter/gunboat mix used by the first sector of the Astragon Navy.

Characteristics
The TIE Reaper has a similar role to the TIE Devastator, a heavy assault/escort starfighter. However, it can also be used as a bomber, performing strategic strikes against bases or capital ships prior to the main arrival of the fleet.

For a TIE series ship, it does look weird, sporting a front end reminiscent of the TIE Phantom and enough room for two pilots. Its four wings are curved and rounded, so it cam easily move through atmospheres. Its weapons are four fire-linked laser cannons and two chin-mounted ion cannons. Unlike the Devastator, the Reaper also has a proton torpedo launcher with twelve shots.

It is the torpedo launcher that gives it the punch to lead wings of light bombers or other craft.
