The flames of war have spread far across the Galaxy, as more and more worlds are engulfed by the conflict between the waring factions. Nearly all planets feel the heat of battle, conflicts span the galaxy from Coruscant to Hoth. Battle for the Galaxy: Now is your chance. Wage war as the idealistic CIS, or the peacekeeping Republic. The resourceful Rebel Alliance, or the evil Galactic Empire. Make good use of your forces, and heroes. Lead vast legions of stormtroopers into the fray with the powerful Lord Vader or battalions of clones with Master Yoda. Fight on wild and exotic planets such as the icy wastes of Hoth to the wet and muddy world of Jabiim. Fight the battles you want, alter Star Wars history, or re-live it. You decide. Your battle for the galaxy is about to begin.
The TIE fighter was the standard Imperial
starfighter seen in massive numbers throughout the
Galactic Civil War.
The TIE fighter was manufactured by Sienar Fleet
Systems. While highly maneuverable, they have no
shields and thus are easily destroyed. They do not
carry missile tubes in standard configurations,
but these can be added on if necessary.
Life-support systems are not included but each
pilot has a fully-sealed flight suit superior to
his Rebel counterpart's. Contrary to popular
belief, the ships do possess ejection seats, but
the nature of space warfare often results in
pilots riding their craft down to a swift end
rather than eject and risk slow death by heat loss
and oxygen starvation. The fighters, along with
the pilots, are viewed as expendable by high
ranking Imperial officers; even the pilots
consider themselves expendable. Like
stormtroopers, TIE pilots are addressed by a
number, such as DS-61-2 (the first two letters
indicate the posting, the next two or three digits
indicate the squadron number, and the last number
indicates the pilot's ranking in the
squadron). TIE fighter laser cannons are weak on
their own, although a direct hit on a starfighter
or medium transport can damage or destroy it. TIEs
are designed to attack in large numbers.
