The P-s4 twin ion engine was an ion drive system manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems and most notably used aboard the TIE/ln starfighters of the Galactic Empire.

The P-s4 engine was an advancement of the SIE-TIE twin ion engine system pioneered by Raith Sienar during the latter stages of the Separatist crisis—although twin ion engine technology itself traced its roots back to the Sith fighters of the Sith Empire.

The twin ion engine contained no moving parts, and was thus low-maintenance. It was also considered to be the most precisely manufactured propulsion system in the Galaxy. It was rated at 150 KTU for the TIE/ln, and 125 KTU for the TIE/sa Bomber.

Sienar ultimately created an upgraded version of this engine system, the P-s5.6 twin ion engine, for use aboard TIE/In starfighters.
