TIE Phantom Background Data
The Phantom was a design originally tested in another Imperial
program but never produced due to a Rebel assault infiltrating
the base and destroying the prototype and the facility. A copy
of the plans had been delivered to the Emperor at Coruscant
and logged into the Top Secret Database which survived and
was downloaded by fleeing Imperial forces after Endor and at
the Research Base at Borus.
Its hull is based on an armoured TIE cockpit with cloaking
projectors and Interceptor-style "dagger" wings are mounted
at 120 degree intervals. The weaponry consists of a pair of heavy
particle lasers built by Shadow Works.
The lasers are twice as powerful than normal, and carry a
larger power storage battery. They are also fitted with radiation
shielding and armour to keep them operational where other
systems might fail. Because the guns are more powerful, a
supercharged shot travels more slowly and takes more time
to fire - a readjustment flight is recommended before combat
missions. When the guns fire nominal charges, they appear to
fire faster than normal TIE lasers which many pilots prefer
- some are known to drain the lasers on purpose into the shields
to maintain the advantage of "rapid-fire"
