Description:
The TIE/SF - Conqueror was created by Knight of Ren Kyrel Ren following the Battle of Skor II. He as a former TIE Pilot himself before becoming a servant of the Supreme Leader, he had often considered the lives of TIE pilots very important, and so wanted to develop a better starfighter for those that serve the navy. He was fascinated with the TIE Striker most of all, and so loved how it was effective during planetary invasions, most of all its skill in atmospheric combat. He based the design of the TIE Striker with traits taken from the TIE Interceptor, he added to extra engines and added more weaponry making it a hole puncher in the Imperial Navy and for the most skilled pilots to use. He had even added like all SF fighters a retractable turret below and added a unique feature a Hyperdrive which allows the fighter to provide escort for many Imperial Vessels and is able to perform scouting missions. This is a fighter he had developed to combat and match with current threats posed by other enemy craft making them a true threat unlike standard TIE's.
