TIE Aggressor



The TIE Aggressor was a ship derived from the same testing that developed the TIE Advanced x1 that Darth Vader flew in the Battle of Yavin. The wings of the Aggressor were bent which would latter be seen again with the TIE Advance and latter the Inteceptor and Defender Models.

The rear deck of the Aggressor was reduced from the Advanced to save width to reduce weight and provide the ship with enhanced maneuverability.

The ship was armed with a pair of chin-mounted laser cannons compliented by two missile launchers and had a gun turret mounted on the rear giving the Aggressor firepower needed to protect itself from pursuers and could fire only from the rear and upper fire arcs leaveing a very distinct blind spot for weapons coverage from below.

The ship performance wise is not much better than the orginal TIE/ln and this fighter never saw widespread production due to advancements in Starfighter Technology over the years.
