STANDARD FEATURES
The Revenant TIE/in Interceptor is fitted with modern software and hardware up to technological standards of the time, with comparable analogs to other standard systems used in interceptors like it. Its systems are easily updated to match improvements made in the future.

ADVANCED SYSTEMS
Stealth Suite:
  • Much like many modernized ships, the TIE/in is able to use a stealth suite to minimize its sensor signature and allow it to float unnoticed through space. When not participating in combat with shields and weapons powered down, the fighter can limit its signature allowing it to remain undetected, especially from enemy starfighter grade sensors and long ranges.
Strengths:
  • Agile: The TIE/in is adept at darting through combat and slashing across battlefields, with quick acceleration and excellent handling.
  • Stealth Mode: The fighter can limit is sensor signature and fly unnoticed from enemy sensors when not participating in direct combat.
Weaknesses:
  • Snubbed: The Interceptor, like many of its kind is definitely not designed to take down large ships or dish out tons of damage, better suited for precision strikes against enemy attack craft.
  • Quiet: Using its stealth systems requires its shields and weapons to be powered down, and at dogfighting ranges as it is still visible to the eye. Some dedicated sensor ships will likely detect them regardless as they approach.
DESCRIPTION
The Imperial Revenant-Series Twin Ion Engine production line was designed and manufactured by Revenant State Industrial, intended to highly resemble the Galactic Empire of old. The symbolism of the TIE was refurbished and updated, but as the Revenant is meant to be the haven of the Imperial Lifestyle, its aesthetic choices needed to represent the New Order as well. With classical cockpit design also came necessary improvements to visibility, using one way view panels to the sides and rear as well as view screens to provide a pilot with a more comprehensive, less obscured view of space.

Unlike its ancient predecessors it features a built-in hyperdrive and deflector shield, updated drive units, weapons, and software to put it on par with modern line starfighters such as the A-Wing. Minor stealth systems like drive bafflers, sensor-reducing hull coatings, degaussing, and other systems have been included in the design to allow squadrons of TIE’s to approach a system or ship undetected until they reach engagement ranges if they fly quiet. Usually, this requires the fighter to keep its weapons and shields powered down, of course they are still visible and so at a certain point it doesn’t prevent detection or notice.

The TIE/in or TIE Interceptor is the standard interceptor model produced by the Revenant as a fast strike craft. With light armor and a space conserving shield generator system, the Interceptor focuses its space consumption on powerful drives and finely tuned maneuvering thrusters capable of making high stress maneuvers in space such as full stops, power dives, and snap turns. The Interceptor, while not the fastest craft every produced, is known for its rapid acceleration to top speed. While it features life support systems, unlike TIE’s in the past, these are intentionally minimalistic, as the pilots normally still wear the iconic life supporting suits. Instead it is intended to be used in emergencies, so that a pilot is not incapacitated should their suit sustain damage.

The TIE/in is armed with a quartet of rapid firing blaster cannons on the wing tips of its solar panels. Its main offensive presence comes from the use of two warhead launchers mounted alongside the cockpit module, at the junction of the struts that connect the cockpit to the wings of the craft. The magazines for these, located in the struts connecting the cockpit to the solar panels, are secured in individual containment fields and armed upon entering the launch chamber to prevent accidental detonation.
