X-1 Interceptor

The T.I.E. Starfighter, simply known as T.I.E. Interceptor, was a T.I.E. Series Starfighter used by the Galactic Empire. The T.I.E. Interceptor was identifiable by its arrow-shaped solar collection panels, a distinct difference from the hexagonal solar arrays of its predecessor, the T.I.E. Fighter. The T.I.E. Interceptor was one of the fastest Starfighters in the galaxy at its prime, nearly rivaling the Alliance's RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptor.

Due to their speed, distinct shape, and narrow profile in comparison to the T.I.E. Starfighter, also known as "The Eyeball" T.I.E. Interceptors came to be referred to occasionally as "Squints" by enemy pilots.

 Interceptor's Used In The Shadow Empire 

Rebuilt and reconstructed the T.I.E. Interceptor reformed into the X-1 Interceptor. To match the color of the Shadow Empire and the darkness of the galaxy, the mechanics and manufacterers of the Eriadu Spaceport rebuilt the frame and structure, adding carbon fiber framing and adding a pitch-black color on it, turning the brand new X-1 Interceptor into a slicker and faster Starfighter.
