TIE Hunter

The TIE Hunter was a variant of the TIE and was created at a hidden base near Destrillion, during the height of the Galactic Civil War.

The Starfighter was created to be used exclusively for the Imperial Storm Commandos to combat the X-Wing Starfighter.

The Fighter as shown by the picture had S-Foil wings similar to the X-Wing and also was the cause of the fighters own failure in the ranks of the Empire.

While proven effective in combat through the unintential use by Rouge Squadron who stole the orginal prototypes and used them to destroy a Star Destroyer that was under construction and the events that lead to the Battle of Endor the Imperials never ordered the Hunter into full production. Some rumors persist that the Fighter was rejected because it would mean that if the Imperials used the craft it'd be giving a nod to the Rebels and saying that there fighters were superior.

Weapons loadout for the Hunter are as followed. Standard Laser Cannnons and Ion Cannons were the standard weapons that were found on the prototype. Upon the construction of the prototypes research was looking into placing concussion missile lanchers and shields on the craft.
