A modified TIE/ln fighter with a reinforced hull and elongated cockpit to support a bomb bay, the TIE/gt fighter gets its two-letter suffix from its role as a ground-targeting starfighter bomber.
During the early years of our mighty Empire, the TIE/gt was found in ground support squadrons before gradually being phased out of service by the newer TIE bomber, though even now during the height of the Galactic Civil War, TIE/gt fighters can still be found in low priority deployments.
TIE/gt fighters typically operate with support from TIE/fc fighters, which provide scanner data for pinpoint accuracy. Large targets, such as buildings and capital ships, can successfully be attacked without the need for TIE/fc data.
The TIE/gt hull can strip its warhead launchers and carry 20,000 plastic leaflets for special propaganda missions.
