TIE viper

TIE vipers were fighters used by the Galactic Empire to either intimidate resistent worlds or be used as powerful stuff against the Rebel Alliance in dogfights.

History
TIE vipers had a standard TIE cockpit and had two flat vertical wings above and below the cockpit. Where the blunt end of each wing faced the cockpit there was a set of high-powered twin laser cannons which could be used to either knock an X-wing starfighter out of the sky or annihilate civilian or military structures on the ground. TIE vipers were used extensively during the battle of Shobaan, however while they did inflict many casualties within the Rebel starfighter squads, the Empire still suffered a crippling defeat.
