- Written sentences in Fall's Journal about the TIE Shadow

Tactical Imperial Enforcer Shadow starfighter, commonly as TIE Shadow, or alternatively as Experimental Shadow fighter, was a classified experimental TIE fighter variant of the LN starfighter with black-coloured armour and white-coloured wing plates. Production of these experimental fighters were carried out by the Department of Military Research and a select few of Tachibana Heavy Engineering workers.

The TIE Shadows were designed to carry two JT-X heavy laser cannons and two HK-5X point-defense cannons as its armament and defense, respectively. However, only twenty of these fighters were built due to the high credit cost of its experimental cloaking generator and the fighters were used by the Black Ops Squadron's Starfighter group.

During the Eclipse Civil War, only five of the fighters were ever used in battle to prevent the loss of these expensive starfighters.
