Notes

Based upon the TIE Vector design by EC Henry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3hzTd0KZx0

With some liberties taken to suit what I need it to do in my campaign.


When in flight the wings are orientated so they point forwards, but when the ship comes into land the wings rotate so they point upwards and the rear of the solar panels becomes the landing gear.

The pilot accesses the ship via a rear hatch, the seat lowers down on an arm. It should be noted that the viewport has a much greater degree of visibility than a standard TIE Fighter.

If the PCs try to acquire one, don't forget about the built-in astromech - it'll want to resist.


This design basically combines the best features of the A-Wing, the TIE Fighter and the TIE Striker. The Auto-Fire Blaster Cannons are basically ripped off a U-Wing's door guns.
