Outland TIE

The Outland TIE Fighter is a specialized variant of the classic TIE Fighter, introduced in the Star Wars TV series "The Mandalorian." It maintains the distinctive solar panel wings and central cockpit of the traditional TIE design but includes a key modification: its wings can fold, allowing for vertical landing. This adaptation makes it more versatile for landing on diverse terrains and in confined spaces where standard TIE fighters would face challenges.

Seen prominently piloted by Moff Gideon, the Outland TIE showcases the Empire's continued innovation in its military technology. The ability for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) reflects a strategic advantage, enabling quick deployment and retrieval. These tweaks underscore the Empire's commitment to maintaining air superiority through both technological advancements and adaptive strategies. This model has contributed to the rich tapestry of Star Wars' vast array of vehicles, blending familiarity with innovation to captivate fans old and new.
