The cannons were relatively powerful, and a well-placed hit on a starfighter or medium-sized transport could damage or destroy it. Primary armament was a pair of L-S1 laser cannons, coupled with a powerful sensor suite. This also made them both inexpensive and quick to replace. The lack of combat shields, hyperdrive, and life-support systems, in concert with the advanced engine design, reduced the mass of the fighter and conferred exceptional maneuverability. Power conduits were attached between the engine system and the solar arrays for good performance. Unlike the TIE before it, the TIE/Ln sported independent generators for the engine and the weapons. ![]() The TIE/Ln's engine was one of the most precisely manufactured propulsion systems in the galaxy and, with no moving parts, was low-maintenance.

The namesake for the fighter and line was the Sienar Fleet Systems P-s4 twin ion engines that acted as its engines. In addition to the TIE and V-wing, it was also descended from the TIE starfighter, the first TIE model developed for the Galactic Empire. starfighter and the V-wing starfighter, both developed for the Galactic Republic, and was manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems. The TIE Fighter was a descendant of the T.I.E. ![]() The TIE Fighter is the original design for later upgraded TIE models such as TIE/sa bomber, TIE/IN interceptor, TIE/D Defender, TIE/D automated starfighter, and many more. ![]() " The aging, outdated craft employed by the Rebels are no match for the power of the TIE, and even the prototype T-65 X-wing created by the traitors who escaped from Incom is clearly outclassed." ― Captain David West Reynolds
