At the helm of this TIE Advanced X1 fightercraft, Darth Vader once sat, just being a total horror to all the X-wing pilots who just wanted to clean up the skies...just a little. This particual model gave more priority to defense than the original model was designed for. With direct power from the solar celled wings, it could keep a force field up for longer than most other ships it's size. Though, this sacraficed power to the twin blaster cannons, it did mean that the thing would take a blast hit without obliderating. It also was weighed down with a hyperdrive for that quick getaway...leaving it's "last year" models to fend for themselves.
