TIE Bomber

==Summary==
The TIE/sa bomber, often simply called the TIE bomber, was a TIE line variant developed by Sienar Fleet Systems as a dedicated planetary bomber. They entered into service with the Imperial Navy’s Starfighter Corps, with every star destroyer carrying at least one squadron of TIE bombers. They proved to be quite effective in assaulting enemy bases and obliterating enemy emplacements in operations supporting the Imperial Army. They also proved effective for surgical planetary bombardment operations where strikes from capital ships was deemed tactically unviable as well as for harassing enemy capital ships. There was also a shuttle variant of TIE bomber with the portside ordnance bay being modified to carry up to half a dozen passengers.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: with thermal detonators, with laser cannons and orbital mines. with missiles/torpedoes; with proton bombs
Name: TIE/sa bomber
Origin: Star Wars
Classification: Bomber
Users: Galactic Empire (Imperial Navy)
Length: 7.9 meters
Width: 10.6 meters
Height: 5.4 meters
Material: Quadanium steel and Titanium alloy fuselage
Needed prerequisite for use: One trained pilot
Terrain: Space, Atmosphere
Attack Potency: Building level+ with thermal detonators (The standard Class-A Thermal Detonator is this powerful). Multi-City Block level with laser cannons (L-s1 laser cannon is the very same model used on the standard TIE/ln) and orbital mines (These bombs are capable of blasting apart the hulls of , which appear to be in the same size range as the CR90 Corvette). Small Town level+ with concussion missiles and proton torpedoes (Should be comparable, if not superior to the T-65B X-wing). Island level with proton bombs (Just two of these can cripple a fully-shielded CR90 Corvette)
Speed: Subsonic+ atmospheric speed (850+ km/hr). Can accelerate continuously to Sub-Relativistic+ speeds in space (Comparable to the Y-wing)
Durability: Small Building level (Build includes titanium alloy armour as well as a layer of Quadanium steel plating, a material normally reserved for capital ship and battle station heavy batteries)
Range: Kilometers with its laser cannons and various bombs, Tens of Kilometers with concussion missiles and proton torpedoes.
Weaknesses:
* Although built with far tougher materials than the TIE line fighter variants, lack of deflector shielding nonetheless makes it a glass cannon and susceptible to being quickly taken out of battle with a single well placed hit from something like a starfighter grade laser cannon.
* Speed & agility are unimpressive even by the standards of the Y-wing. Is practically a sitting duck for any fighter and even some types of armed light freighters & shuttles with a competent pilot in the cockpit.
* Lack of a hyperdrive limits its strategic and tactical viability as a bomber. Has to be ferried across interstellar distances by a hyperdrive equipped carrier craft.
