Engage the enemy with the Imperial TIE Fighter! The TIE/LN starfighter, or simply known as the TIE Fighter was the standard Imperial starfighter seen in massive numbers throughout most of the Galactic Civil War and onward. The lack of combat shields, hyperdrive, and life-support systems, in concert with the advanced engine design, reduced the mass of the fighter and conferred exceptional maneuverability. This also made them both inexpensive and quick to replace. The TIE/Ln's engine was one of the most precisely manufactured propulsion systems in the galaxy and, with no moving parts, was low-maintenance. Primary armament was a pair of L-S1 laser cannons, coupled with a powerful sensor suite. TIE pilots served in the Starfighter Corps of the Imperial Navy by piloting the various TIE Series starfighters. Distinguished by all-black flight suits and bulky, fully enclosed, vacuum-sealed helmets, the Galactic Empire at its height produced millions of TIE pilots and generally considered them expendable assets. NI-L8 was a black RA-7 protocol droid of the Galactic Empire who was active aboard the second Death Star[2] during 4 ABY.[6] She later served VaneĆ© on Mustafar. Capturing the authentic, sleek design of an iconic starfighter in the Imperial fleet, the TIE Fighter features an opening cockpit and 2 spring-loaded shooters. Measuring over 6.5 in. (17 cm) high, 5.5 in. (14 cm) long and 6 in (15 cm) wide. This build is complete & does not include Stormtrooper minifigure. This can be purchased without the NIL8 droid for six dollars less.
