TIE Fighters are small, agile Imperial ships, that are light, and fast in battle. They are driven by TIE Pilots, and have twin laser blasters on the front. They have no deflector shields, or hyper drive, and have a small, one-man cockpit in between two huge wings. LEGO® made five different versions of this ship: One in 2001, one in 2005, one in 2012, and two mini versions.
