Rapier-class Interceptor

The Rapier-class Interceptor is a common interceptor in the service of the Sith Empress, Darth Sirena. Designed by Imperial Iron Works, the Rapier-class is manufactured in cooperation with Kuat Drive Yards and subcontractors in the Tion Hegemony and Corporate Sector. Propelled by four linked ion engines, it otherwise bears some resemblance to the classic and inexpensive Sienar TIE line - a cost-saving measure. As Sith Empire space used to be largely Imperial space, it was deemed essential that the TIE cockpit design be plagiarized in order to ease transition for veteran pilots.
