Background: The TIE/dg starfighter, also known as the TIE dagger, or the Sith TIE fighter, was a type of Sith-affiliated TIE line starship that was forged in secret by forces under the command of the reborn Emperor Palpatine, along with the Xyston-class Star Destroyer, the AAL-2100/9.5 atmospheric assault lander, and other new technology created by the Sith Eternal.
The TIE/dg was part of the TIE line of ships that had previously served as the starfighter of choice for both the Galactic Empire and First Order. It had an armament of laser cannons beneath the ball cockpit, and two heavy laser cannons between the solar collector wing and the suspended winglet. These cannons gave it a deadly punch in starfighter combat. It was manufactured by Sienar-Jaemus Fleet Systems and had red designs representing their loyalty to the Sith. It had a cockpit, two triangular-shaped wings that featured solar collectors, and twin ion engines.
The TIE/dg replaced the two handle yoke of the original TIE’s design with two independent control columns, which had levered handgrips that offered a greater degree of movement. Feedback on the columns created a strong sense of connection between the fighter and pilot.
