TIE Striker

The TIE Striker is by far the largest combat-ready TIE model ever produced. The most significant feature on the TIE Striker is the dual cockpits. The addition of the second navigation/gunner cockpit allowed the pilot to focus on flying the spacecraft. This was due to the large mass of the TIE Striker and its poor handling (similar to TIE Bombers).

What it lacks in speed, it more than makes up for in firepower. Like most TIE Bombers, it is equipped with two lasers for defensive purposes. The main weapon, however is the quad array of projectile launchers which allow the TIE Striker to carry up to 32 concussion missiles, or 16 torpedos. Capable of firing 4 torpedos at a time, the TIE Striker can inflict damage twice as quickly as the TIE Bomber, which suits its purpose as a frontline hit-and-run bomber.
