CharacteristicsEdit

The Advanced Project ship's role was to escort freighters in the Outer Rim Territories for corporate clients. They could deploy into combat from tight-packed launch stacks in standard cargo holds. Advanced Project ships did not have the blade-shaped forward hull of the Scimitar, only a compact, spherical compartment, and had broad vertical cooling vanes at either end of a twenty-meter wingspan. It had essentially the TIE's signature look, but was painted black and was noted as being smaller than previous models.^[1]

HistoryEdit

Flights of early models were apparently made about half a year after the Invasion of Naboo.^[2] Ships of the latest and smallest experimental model were finishing construction by 29 BBY. They were paid for in advance by Sienar's clients, one of which was the Trade Federation.^[1]

The design of the Advanced Project ship would be expanded upon with the T.I.E. starfighter and its successor designs.^[3]
