The TIE Experimental Mark II, also known as the "TIE/fc," is a unique variant of the standard TIE series starfighter. Developed by the Galactic Empire, this model is specifically designed for enhanced target acquisition and coordination in space battles. It features an elongated wing design and a central pod, outfitted with advanced sensor and communication arrays that enable it to serve as a forward command and control ship. Its primary role is to increase the effectiveness of other Imperial starfighters by providing real-time data and tactical information, thus improving overall combat efficiency.
This starfighter was primarily deployed in specialized operations where precise coordination was crucial. Despite its advanced systems, the TIE Experimental Mark II retained the lightweight and agile frame characteristic of the TIE series, though it sacrificed some armor and firepower for its advanced sensor equipment. Its unique capabilities make it a valuable asset in the Imperial fleet, particularly in skirmishes that require tight integration between various fighter classes and capital ships.
