They rely on large numbers and their superior
maneuverability to destroy the enemy. Th
most used Imperial fighter series is the
Tie (Twin Ion Engines) series.
The basic Imperial fighter is the Tie Fighter

of the cockpit and two solar panels to
give it power. Two Ion engines power this fighter from
the "back" of the cockpit. Other Tie models

the Tie Advanced and the Tie Defender.
