The TIE Fighter Boat is a radically different TIE variant when compared to others in the TIE series as it is designed to exclusively operate underwater. These surface assault craft have the classic TIE pod shaped cockpit, although it is elongated. This craft is loosely based on the TIE Bomber. The lower half of the solar panels are "bent" to form runners for the craft as it skims the water's surface. Meanwhile, the upper half of the solar panels have been removed for improved visibility. Seatroopers are the usual crew for the TIE Fighter Boat. These craft are assigned to Imperial aquatic bases. |
