Background: The TIE prototype is restricted to government sales only. It appears to be a standard pod except for the addition of a thin layer of plating and its slightly superior speed.
The bulk of this vessel consists of a small ball-shaped cockpit dominated by two bulbous ion engines. A pair of small round solar panels, smaller than the cockpit in diameter, extend from the prototype’s cockpit on square posts, with the tops angled toward the center of the ship.
