The TIE Advanced is often described as a cross between the TIE X1/X2 and the TIE Interceptor. In reality, it is an improvement over both of them. Combining heavy firepower, high speeds, a strong strong hull, shields and a hyperdrive, this ship is a suitable successor to all of it's parents. It is equipped with four laser cannons and a pair of general purpose launchers and is very maneuverable. The TIE Advanced was used in series of classified campaigns to prevent pre-Endor warlordism from shattering the Empire. This is why the Empire never brought more of these forces into the search for the Rebel Fleet after the Battle of Hoth. The TIE Advanced is nicknamed "TIE Avenger", because this craft was the TIE pilots vehicle for revenge against the hated X-Wing and A-Wing space superiority fighters.
