Twin Ion Engine or TIE fighters first saw use during the waning days of the Old Republic. They are the main starfighters of the Galactic Empire.
TIEs are produced by Sienar Fleet Systems.
TIE Fighter [Old Republic era]
Spotted six months after the Battle of Naboo.
Possibly Old Republic T.I.E. fighters?
TIE Fighter [white hull]
Newer than the Old Republic T.I.E. fighter. Predates the TIE/ln by an unknown amount of time. Deployed at the Battle of Yavin in which they were on par with rebel X-wings.
TIE/ln
The TIE/ln was an updated design of the standard TIE fighter. It was faster and more durable than it's predecessors while also possibly having an extended sublight range as well. Several specialised variants using the TIE/In's basic form exist, such as the TIE/fc and the TIE/gt.
TIE Bomber
The Empires most numerous Bomber. A twin-pod design with the starboard pod housing the one man cockpit and the portside pod containing the bomber's payload. The yeilds and number of bombs, missiles, mines, and torpedos it carried could be changed to suit various mission objectives.
TIE/fc
The TIE/fc (the fc standing for fire control) is a reconnaissance fighter which is used to assist in long range weapon fire for either ground or starship based weaponry.
