This ship puts the TIE Fighter to shame. It's considerably more maneuverable and faster than the TIE Fighter, and it can take an extra hit or two before being destroyed. In addition, it boasts four laser cannons, which will make short work of any Rebel fighter. The TIE Interceptor must be flown cautiously, much like the TIE Fighter, because of its weak defensive abilities. Change speeds frequently and stay out of the line of fire. Keep in mind that turning radius is greatest at two-thirds engine power. Maneuver behind the enemy and strike in quick, powerful bursts with full lasers charged.
