STRENGTHS

• General purpose: The TIE Crusher is designed to effectively deal with a variety of different threats, thanks to the six laser cannons installed aboard the vehicle
• Squish: The large tank treads attached to the TIE Crusher allows the vehicle to crush both infantry and defensive positions alike
• Sensor array: The large Sensor Rectenna attached to the NZ SAP-2A Sensor Systems Array allows the TIE Crusher to identify hostile targets from great distances away
• Shielded: Each TIE Crusher is equipped with a NZ SS-1 Primera Shield System, greatly increasing the survivability of the vehicle

WEAKNESSES

• General purpose: Though armed with a plethora of laser cannons, the TIE Crusher may struggle to damage more heavily armored targets
• Sluggish: Though decently fast for a tracked vehicle, the TIE Crusher is relatively unmaneuverable, especially in tight or enclosed spaces
• Weak point: The large viewport on the TIE Crusher is a rather notable weak point in an otherwise robust and reliable design
• Lightly armored: Owing to its TIE heritage, the TIE Crusher is only lightly armored, relying on its deflector shields to survive in combat

DESCRIPTION

Though relatively effective in combat, the original TIE Crusher suffered from a variety of different weaknesses, leading to unacceptable losses during combat operations. In response, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant brought in the N&Z Umbrella Corporation to help upgrade the vehicle in order to increase its effectiveness and operational lifespan.

Changes to the original designed included the addition of an NZ SS-1 Primera Shield System, an NZ SAP-2A Sensor Systems Array, an NZ CoreCom Scammer and NZ CoreCom Disruptor and a Proton Mk I Droid Brain, which allowed the TIE Crusher to most optimally utilize its newly installed N&Z subsystems. All TIE Crushers are now furthermore capable of firing Dornean Plasma, vastly increasing the power of their six laser cannons.

Unfortunately, the TIE Crusher is a rather slow moving, lumbering land vehicle, one with a massive weak point: its Quinta-Polycarbonite Lamellar Compound viewport. Luckily, the newly installed deflector shield system better allows the TIE Crusher to survive prolonged engagements, and each vehicle is capable of putting out a surprisingly frightful amount of firepower.
