• NZ C.H.A.R.M.01 [Concentrated Hypermatter Active Reactor Module]
• NZ RAS-1 Missile Propulsion System [Maneuvering Thrusters]
• FAE/S-04 Small Craft Support and Survival Suite (Permissions for FAE items: Link)
• FAE/C-02 Tractor Guidance Network
• FAE/S-06 Reactive Targeting Matrix v1.0.1
• FAE/S-09 Active Harmonizing System
• FAE/S-11 Universal Communication Matrix

ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• NZ MTS "Bloodhound" [Magnetic Targeting Sensor] (Permission: Link)
• Primary Sensor Array: NZ SAP-2A SSA [Sensor Systems Array]
• NZ SSP-SIXTUS/B [Shield System Package]
• NZ SLAB-01 SubLight AfterBurner
• NZ AIMS-01 Active Internal Maneuverability System
• NZ OS-HD3H Hyperdrive system (Hyperdrive Rating: Class 1)

STRENGTHS

• Extreme firepower and Defense
• Modular torpedo loadout for mission adaptability
• Very High speed and maneuverability
• Visibility increased over many tie models due to the wings being horizontally aligned to the cockpit

WEAKNESSES

• Low Quantity
• Highest and medium Torpedo output decreases speed and maneuverability
• High thermal signature due to large maser output

DESCRIPTION
The TIE/rex is an elite space superiority starfighter developed for high-risk engagements demanding overwhelming firepower, rapid deployment, and modular adaptability. Measuring 7.7 meters long and 6.5 meters wide, with a reinforced hull of Ersteel 1333 and solar arrays integrated into its wide-frame wings, the TIE/rex reflects the pinnacle of advanced starfighter engineering. Its viewports, crafted from reinforced quinta polycarbonate lamellar compound, provide exceptional protection without sacrificing pilot visibility in high-stress combat environments. Operating in elite squadrons of twelve, the TIE/rex is a rare but devastating presence on the battlefield.

Armed with eight precision-aligned maser cannons and a twin modular torpedo launcher system, the TIE/rex offers adaptable offensive loadouts tailored to specific mission profiles. Heavy strike missions can equip up to 20 heavy and 50 standard proton torpedoes, while lighter configurations trade munitions for agility. The trade-off is tactical—heavier payloads reduce speed and maneuverability, forcing commanders to weigh explosive firepower against dogfighting finesse. Once torpedoes are depleted or no longer necessary, the launcher modules can be jettisoned mid-flight to restore peak performance.

Internally, the TIE/rex is powered by the cutting-edge NZ C.H.A.R.M.01 hypermatter reactor and guided by an array of advanced systems, including the FAE/S-06 Reactive Targeting Matrix and the Bloodhound magnetic targeting sensor. Maneuvering is augmented through the NZ RAS-1 thruster network and the AIMS-01 internal stabilization system, while survivability is ensured with the SIXTUS/B shielding array and integrated life-support systems. High-speed engagements benefit from the SLAB-01 afterburner and a Class 1-rated NZ OS-HD3H hyperdrive, enabling the TIE/rex to operate far from traditional support infrastructure.

Despite its formidable design, the TIE/rex is not without limitations. Its low production quantity restricts strategic deployment, while its thermal signature—exacerbated by the maser array and reactor output—makes it easier to track during sustained combat. Additionally, when burdened with medium or heavy torpedo configurations, its exceptional speed and agility are temporarily diminished. Still, for commanders seeking a precision strike platform capable of overwhelming capital ships and outclassing most enemy fighters, the TIE/rex remains a fearsome and versatile tool in the Imperial arsenal.
