Article Theme/Topic: TIE/IN “Interceptor”

General Information Body Paragraph: The TIE/IN, mainly referred to as “Interceptor” was a TIE Starfighter variant that was deadlier than the standard Air Superiority Fighters, it was known for its speed in both its ion canons and its airspeed. 

History/Background Body Paragraph: The TIE/IN was, as said before, air superiority fighters of a higher power, however, the Interceptor's defensive capabilities are very weak, and obsolete, in fact, it had no shield or hyperdrive. Because of those inconveniences, this fighter compensates all into speed and offense, rather than defense. Not all pilots of the Imperial Starfighter Corps could pilot these monsters, only selected elite pilots could utilize them in combat. Even though the Tie Interceptor was powerful in many ways, it focused its efficiency on dog fighting. The TIE/IN had 4 arrow-shaped wings with built-in solar panels, the 4 laser cannons on the point on the tie interceptor’s wing permitted advanced firepower to ravage any opponent's shield at a great speed, as the fighter’s fire rate too was incredible. The top atmospheric speed an interceptor could reach would be 1250 Kilometers per hour. The first prototype of the Tie Interceptor, with bent wings and solar panels first pilot was Darth Vader himself, had a dagger-like shape, to have a better vision.

Additional Information Body Paragraph: Certain Tie Interceptors were seen having red colors, which were driven by elite pilots and Royal Guards, as they were seen having the same colors and escorting a royal shuttle. During the golden age of the Empire, the Tie Interceptor practically became the main Air Superiority fighter, as the standard TIEs became obsolete over time, as not only the Empire’s technology advanced, but also the Rebellion’s.
