EQUIPMENT

DESCRIPTION
The "X-TIE" starfighter is a common form of improvised combat spacecraft, scrapped together from parts of the T-65B X-Wing and TIE/LN "TIE Line" starfighters. Commonly built by pirates, salvagers, low-rent mercenaries and cash-strapped paramilitary groups, not to mention individuals with technical skill and a will to build their own ship. Considered a ship of last resort, the quality of such "ugly" designs varies wildly, from better-than-factory to barely spaceworthy.

As its heritage might suggest, the X-TIE combines the strengths and weaknesses of the ships used to build it. Ditching the X-Wings quad ion turbines in favor of the TIE's Twin Ion Engine assembly, speed has not really taken a hit, remaining at 100 MGLT. Armament is reduced, with a pair of medium laser cannons taking the place of the X-Wing's warhead launcher. The wingtip lasers, naturally, have been lost. Besides this, however, the X-TIE retains the X-Wing's shields, hyperdrive and astromech droid, giving it better durability and range than the TIE; maneuverability has also been increased.

LEGALITY
Restricted. X-TIEs are starfighters, and are subject to extra licensing requirements and increased scrutiny by authorities.

INTENT
To create another common "ugly" starfighter.
