TIE interceptor is a less common sucessor of the TIE Fighter. Its bent wings gave it a manacing look of a dagger and provide the craft with extra power to its thrusters. It was stronger than the original TIE Fighter, being equipped with 4 laser cannons, firing slightly faster than the X-Wing. Strangely, it is never featured in Empire at War. The question why Lucasarts added a TIE Scout, replacing the TIE Interceptor is still unanswered.

  • TIE interceptor is a less common sucessor of the TIE Fighter. Its bent wings gave it a manacing look of a dagger and provide the craft with extra power to its thrusters. It was stronger than the original TIE Fighter, being equipped with 4 laser cannons, firing slightly faster than the X-Wing. Strangely, it is never featured in Empire at War. The question why Lucasarts added a TIE Scout, replacing the TIE Interceptor is still unanswered.
  • The TIE Interceptor was armed with four laser cannons that could be fired in sequence, or linked up to be shot two at a time or four at a time, like the X-wing's lasers. It was armed with scattering, relatively weak anti-fighter missiles.
  • Sienar Fleet Systems' T.I.E. (Twin Ion Engine) Interceptor is an improved version of the standard TIE fighter. Matched only by the A-Wing, this starfighter is one of the fastest in the galaxy. Equipped with four laser cannons it sacrifices shielding, hyperdrive and survivability for raw speed and firepower, with twice the A-Wing's armament.
  • The TIE Interceptor has appeared in LEGO several times over the years. 9676 TIE Interceptor & Death Star In this set there was a smaller version of the Interceptor, too small to be piloted by the Pilot that accompanied it. TIE Interceptors are pretty badass they are used by the Empire to combat the Rebels X-Wing's. 6206 TIE Interceptor This set from 2006 however was large enough to be piloted by the Pilot minifigure that it came with.
  • Derived from the technological strides made with Darth Vader's TIE x1 Advanced prototype, the TIE Interceptor heralded a substantial progression in Imperial fighter capability. It possesses a much more aggressive layout and styling, but utilizes many of the same components and control interfaces as those prior fighters that it now serves alongside.
  • TIE Interceptors were first developed during the Battle of Endor where they replaced the piece of shit TIE fighter. By simply folding the wings and cutting off half the middle section, the TIE int surpassed the TIE fighter by a hundredfold. They had four lasers instead of two, which actually helped destroy a lot of Rebel fighters, believe it or not. File:Wiki.pngThis article is a stub. You can help Darthipedia by expanding it.

  • Il TIE Interceptor era un caccia stellare TIE serie usato dall'Impero Galattico. Il TIE Interceptor era identificabile per i suoi pannelli solari a forma di freccia, una netta differenza dai pannelli solari esagonali del suo predecessore, il caccia TIE TIE. L'Interceptor è stato uno dei più veloci caccia stellari della galassia al suo primo, quasi rivaleggiando con il caccia ribelle RZ-1 A-Wing.
  • The TIE/in Starfighter, better known simply as the TIE Interceptor, is a starfighter used by the Galactic Empire. The TIE Interceptor is identifiable by its arrow-shaped solar collection panels, a distinct difference from the hexagonal solar arrays of its predecessor, the TIE Fighter. The Interceptor is one of the fastest starfighters in the galaxy, rivaling or surpassing the RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptor. Officers of the Imperial Navy are sometimes known to adopt TIE Interceptors as their personal craft, installing shield projectors and hyperdrives so the Interceptors can be utilized as escape vehicles.
  • The dangerous TIE/In Interceptor (known as "squints" by Alliance pilots) is available to Imperial Pilots at Advanced TIE Capabilities certification. Designed as an interceptor, it is something between a heavy fighter and a light skirmisher, with the benefits of both and enough mass to equip it for mid-level space battles. Intended mostly as a close dogfighter, the Interceptor sacrifices the higher mass of the TIE Advanced in order to maximize maneuverability for a ship this size. The success of the TIE Interceptor led to its being used as the base model for the elite Imperial Guard TIE.
  • The TIE Interceptor is the interceptor starfighter for the Galactic Empire. It is specifically built for tracking and destroying enemy ships. They are very agile, but require quite a bit of skill to handle correctly. If you can, you will quickly become a nuisance to the enemy, taking out ships quickly and skilfully almost before the enemy player realises he is being attacked. This is very handy for accumulating the points you cannot get from only taking out the critical points of the enemy capital ship. However, they sacrifice nearly all armour in order to gain maximum speed and one shot from a Y-wing will send it spiralling away to a fiery doom. There are always many of these ships present in any game in space. (Equivalent- Republic Interceptor, Droid Tri-Fighter, A-Wing).
  • The TIE Interceptor is one of the most deadly starfighters produced in the TIE series and is one of the fastest in the Galaxy. The fighter is noted for its dagger-like design, allowing TIE pilots increased visibility and making the fighter a harder target for enemy gunners. Newer advancements installed in the Interceptor include newer engines, allowing better ion-stream projection for faster combat maneuvers, and an advanced targeting computer. Like all TIEs, of course, it lacks heavy armor, hyperdrives, deflector shields, and life-support systems.
  • Like most TIEs, the TIE Interceptor shared nearly identical cockpits, drive pods, and wing brace design with the TIE Fighter. The solar collector panels were lengthened and angled, and the forward center section was removed. This new solar array design gave the Interceptor its unmistakable dagger-like appearance, while providing the pilot with increased visibility and shrinking its profile making targeting more frustrating for enemy gunners. This wing design gave the craft a more menacing visage, continuing the Empire's reputation of ruling through fear.
