DESCRIPTION
The TIE/BR Armored Shuttle or "TIE Boarder" looks a great deal like the the TIE/SA starbomber model also created by Sienar Fleet Systems with the Galactic Empire in mind. However its internal structure and role is entirely different despite efforts made to satisfy the aesthetic interests of the Empire high command at the time.

The armament of the TIE/BR is adequate considering it is a military shuttle. A small versatile launcher that allows the vessel to be outfitted for mission specific needs. Two medium laser cannons are further bolstered by two heavy laser cannons at the pilot's control.

While it is much faster than most civilian craft and bearing weapon systems that could wreck havoc on a target, the TIE Boarder is not meant for dog fights and often only departs larger vessels. It also does not come with a hyperdrive though planetary defense forces have not found this an issue. The only problem that has risen in recent years is the increasing amount of pirates utilizing TIE/BR models and retrofitting them with illegal aftermarket modifications for ship and cargo theft. The shuttle does have numerous parts that can be easily replaced with cannibalized TIE wreckages making them a persistent site in the galaxy.

LEGALITY
Restricted. Civilians are generally not permitted to own boarding craft such as the TIE/BR without extensive licensing. Even with this, the type receives heavy scrutiny from most authorities. Recognized military and paramilitary organizations may have an easier time of it.

INTENT
To create a standard boarding craft and also provide a site based submission from canon content, TIE Boarding Craft.
