DESCRIPTION

The TIE/sk air superiority fighter, or TIE striker, is a revamped version of an old Imperial model used by the Galactic Empire. It fulfills the same purpose as it's predecessor: in-atmosphere superiority. This high speed strike fighter is equipped with an impressive assortment of weaponry and is constructed for quick and precise strikes against enemy forces. Much like it's predecessor, the TIE/sk is utilized by both the Imperial Armada and the Legion in conjunction with their forces.

The TIE/sk is built for speed. It's wings are flat and pointed and, if more speed was necessary, the pilot can enter the fighter into attack mode causing the wings to curl down. A larger central pod allowed for the fighter to carry more supplies and personnel than a traditional TIE fighter.

Fairly solid submission. I'm a little iffy on if this would be better suited to vehicle section due to its role as an atmospheric fighter, but I think it just about slides under the wire in here.

Just two minor points of contention before I feel comfortable approving this.

Brel-type Light Particle Shield (backup)

As this is a closed submission, you will just need to display that you have approval to include this item from the manufacturer.

And lastly, you appear to be one rating over. Entirely up to you where you wanna drop this, but possibly in its production or defense capabilities since the speed, maneuverability and armament are the defining characteristics you seem to be going for in this submission.
