The T.I.E./rc is specially suited for reconnaissance missions. Extra-sensitive sensors and long-range communications gear allow the T.I.E./rc to serve as remote spotlights for larger capital ships. Not equipped with hyperdrives, T.I.E./rc fighters are still short range craft, but can often extend the reach of carrier ship or launch base sensors. T.I.E./rc fighters are sometimes dispatched into asteroid fields or areas of dense starship traffic that may limit a larger vessel's mobility, for example. In squadron activities, a T.I.E./rc may range ahead of a main starfighter force and send back vital pre-engagement data. To make room for the added equipment, the T.I.E./rc only has a single laser cannon.
