Bandai 1:144 Sienar-Jaemus Fleet Systems TIE/fo
As the First Order was a junta inspired by the Galactic Empire, it also kept the TIE/ln space superiority starfighter design for their fighters, but upgraded the ship to modern combat standards.[2] As First Order engineers operated under a less bureaucratic regime, technological innovations were easier to produce. Advancements from the Empire's TIE/ln included on-board deflector shields that provided better protection and offensive capabilities, improved solar cells, and higher-capacity converters. These upgrades were a side effect of the First Order's change of treatment towards pilots, seeing them as critical assets rather than cannon fodder.[1]However like its Imperial predecessor the TIE/f/o still lacked a hyperdrive, making it dependent on carrier vessels for transport and limiting it to short range missions.
The First Order TIE fighter was expensive and complex, although less versatile than the T-70 X-wing fighter. Powered by vertical P-s6 twin ion engines, the fighters lacked a hyperdrive, limiting them to short-range missions. A Torplex flight computer controlled the vessel, and for combat a TIE pilot was armed with twin L-s9.6 laser cannons. The solar panels fitted to the TIE/fo gathered light energy and channeled it through high-efficiency coils into a reactor powered by high-pressure radioactive gas fuel. An armored cover protected the solar array and its girandium-colium solar cells.[1]
The TIE/sf space superiority fighter was a two-seated variant of the TIE/fo, which only elite pilots were allowed to handle.[2]
