TIE/IE

The TIE/IE was a prototype TIE Fighter used in the Battle of Virleer in 312 ABY. It was very similar to the original TIE Fighter excel t for the fact that the wings were attached to the cockpit horizontally, rather than vertically. This let to a surprising amount of agility and maneuverability. Only about 300,000 of them were made, leaving them in high demand by prestigious Star Destroyer and Super Star Destroyer Commanders, including Grand Admiral Pelate Dranjuin of the Gustravis Imperial Remnant. Only the best of the best of the best were ever allowed to fly the ships, and to be allowed to fly in one of them was considered one of the highest unofficial honors a TIE Fighter Pilot could hope to achieve. The TIE Fighters wer constructed in the Pantoran Shipyards, constructed out of Plinanyian-Cortosis Alloy.
