TIE Fighter
imperial faction only
The TIE Fighter is the Sienar Fleet Systems TIE/ln Starfighter — the unmistakable twin-ion-engine silhouette that defines Imperial space combat across the original trilogy.
Role in the galaxy
In Star Wars Galaxies the TIE Fighter is the default starship of the Imperial-aligned pilot tree. It is a single-seat, faction-locked starfighter — fast, agile, and lightly shielded, exactly matching the canon design philosophy. Players fly it through space-zone PvE content and against Rebel-aligned pilots in their counterpart X-Wing starfighters.
How to obtain
A player reaches the Imperial Navy pilot path, completes the introductory pilot certification, and receives the TIE Fighter as the entry-tier Imperial starship. A mastered Shipwright crafts components and upgrades for the hull from blueprints obtained through the pilot career.
Variants
The TIE Fighter is the entry-level Imperial starfighter. Heavier Imperial variants (TIE Interceptor, TIE Advanced) sit higher in the tier ladder for pilots who progress through the Imperial Navy career.
