STRENGTHS
- Cloaking and Moving: It has the ability to vanish from view and start to move around rather carefully.
- Strike and Fade!: It can increase its speed to an impressive amount and still turn. While not elite as other starfighters, its compliments outweigh others of its classification.
- Emergency Break, Never Use!: Emergency Braking without slowing down, will tear the starfighter apart. It is recommended to slow down first!
- Exposed Components: One of the more unusual features is how exposed each component is, as if every part was shoved in. Hitting the wing may cause a variety of strange effects, from shutting down SLAM MK II to shutting down the whole cloaking device.
TIE/SK, also known as Superior Knight, is an experimental Tie Fighter with the knowledge of all new components. Alban Roble had given Haon Hafey a deadline and in the process of it, started to create in a draft board rather quickly an elite starfighter with all new parts and kept building it from hand while he had the chance. The results...is something a rough draft may come up with. Phkalt Metal was ignored completely and instead replaced with a Vidhar Cloaking Device, something much more high tech he had not had the chance to use yet while coupling together the SLAM MK. II inside the starfighter. Even new tactical systems such as the Targeting Systems, shoving in HIMS, a Crystal Gravtrap.
When it was all said and done, it became apparent that if it could fit inside, it was going inside. Room was bar none and while everything was protected to the best of their ability, most of the components did not have proper hull plating coverings to protect it from enemy damage. Apparently, a majority of the wiring came from the Vidhar and the SLAM MK. II having to be joined together to work right as their feedback loops did not like working together naturally, so they were jury rigged and forced to work in tandem. When sent out to Elysium, it is noted to only give to their best pilots as most are recommended to modify them themselves afterwards.
