TIE Experimental M6

TIE Experimental M6 The TIE Experimental M6 was an experimental TIE that was capable of holding both a pilot and an astromech droid, making it unique amongst the TIE Experimentals. It was nicknamed the TIE Shadow

Characteristics
The TIE Experimental M6 had the standard round cockpit pod. The solar panels were different to the standard TIE Fighter in that they closely resembled the design of the wings of the Rogue a Shadow and were arranged similarly on the TIE fighter. Between each wing were two laser cannons each. The TIE Experimental M6s were smaller in number than their predecessors and very few were available during the attack on the Obsidian and Sardis.

History
The TIE Experimental M6 were designed for the elite Imperial pilots on the space station Obsidian. Astromech droids were added to improve the TIEs systems. Shortly after their creation, the Obsidian was accidently discovered by the Dark Jedi Kori Dannus, who managed to dock with the Obsidian and wandered around. Upon discovering the M6, he was impressed by it and stole it. He also placed a few Detpacks on the TIE Experimental M4s, creating a huge explosion which destroyed the hangar and the majority of the M6s. Because of their limited number, they did not participate in the attack on the Obsidian and Sardis. Years later however, the blueprints for the TIE Experimentals were discovered by the Imperial Warlord Maik Porinom who reused the TIEs for his army. Most were destroyed during the battle of Amaros II
