Description: Invictus Aeronautics' first major production vessel is the TIE Hex-class Starfighter, which was produced to fill a variety of niches in the galactic market. Firstly, it aims to supply consumers with a capable choice from the popular TIE design, which has its own niche market. Secondly, it aims to provide Alen Na'Varro's shadow organization, the Eclipse, with a starfighter that sets them apart from the Lords of the Fringe, their benefactors. A fan of the old TIE Defender's performance, if not its looks, Na'Varro decided to make a lighter variant and alter the design into something visually pleasing.

Invictus Aeronautics saw the use of providing astromech facilities on their first starfighter and as such have added them into the design. They trimmed a couple of laser cannons from the individual design to take the vessel out of the Space Superiority class, altered the wing design, and updated the hyperdrive to the modern military Class 1.0 format. The TIE Hex has adequate guns, is well-shielded and has sub-light maneuverability, but does not excel in any one area. Its versatility can be an Achilles heel, especially when going up gun-for-gun against heavier fighters or trying to chase down Interceptors. However, it is a solid, useful starfighter that can perform in a variety of roles.
