TIE/Reign Starfighter

The TIE/Reign, also known as TIE Reign, TIE/Re, and TIE Commander, was a large starfighter developed by Sienar Fleet Systems.

Development
The Galactic Empire required a TIE variant that could act as a flagship for massive TIE squadrons. A TIE with 2 large octagonal solar arrays on each side for a total of 4, a 12 seat cockpit for a pilot and copilot, navigator, and command seat, as well as 8 gunner seats for the cannons, was developed. After approved by Darth Vader, Sienar began production.

Use
The TIE/Re has seen combat in all major battles between the Galactic Empire and The Rebellion. Early in the war, TIE/Re starfighters often acted as escorts for TIE Reaper troop transport craft, the role of which was given to the TIE Striker later in the war, when TIE Reigns were used for what they were actually built for: leading massive TIE squadrons into battle.

Retirement
When the First Order rose, they stopped use of the TIE/Re, and put it out of commission.
