This page is about the fictional TIE fighter starcraft. For information on the LucasArts computer game TIE Fighter, see TIE Fighter.

A TIE fighter is a fictional starfighter in the Star Wars universe and is the standard Imperial starfighter. TIE is an acronym for "Twin Ion Engine", and the TIE fighter is the mainstay of the Imperial fleet throughout the original Star Wars trilogy (episodes IV-VI). The movies include very little technical information about the craft but extensive details were subsequently created for the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Rebellion/New Republic pilots gave TIE fighters the slang name "Eyeballs" because of their spherical cockpit and viewport.

Specifications


According to canon, the TIE fighter was manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems and cost 60,000 Imperial Credits (the standard currency of the Empire) to build, which is apparently cheap for a fighter. The design was based on the older Advanced Jedi starfighter and the Sith Infiltrator.

@jessepriest That was rad! I have one that's supposed to be an storm trooper busting Darth & Boba for drinking under a tie-fighter.
