The TIE/x2 starfighter was a TIE series starfighter prototype created by Sienar Fleet Systems
Design
The TIE/x2 incorporated many of the design innovations from the TIE/x1, including higher performance ion engines than the TIE/LN starfighter, a hyperdrive, and improved combat software; it also possessed the x1 hull that was a departure from the TIE series standard, and inward-swept solar/radiator panels configured for higher pilot visibility.
History
Thirty-two TIE/x2 starfighters went through field trials for nine months under some of the best active duty TIE wing commanders in the Imperial Navy, where they were carefully monitored by teams of diagnostic droids, maintenance techs, and engineers; their reports (along with glowing reports from the pilots themselves) gave the SFS TIE Mod Team a solid profile of the ships' perks and flaws. The ships were returned to Lianna at the close of the trials.
