Strange T.I.E. Fighter

The strange T.I.E. Fighter was the nickname given to an unidentified T.I.E. starfighter variant that provoked the crash of the Tzarina. Around the time of the Battle of Yavin, this T.I.E. Fighter rammed the Tzarina, a luxury liner of the Star Tours company, in the Yavin system, thereby causing its crash on the planet Dathomir.
==Behind the scenes==
The "strange T.I.E. fighter" was mentioned in a quest of the defunct Star Wars Galaxies massively multiplayer online game. In Galaxies, the name of the craft was spelled as a proper acronym, with each letter having its own termination mark. However, most sources, including the 2003 reference book The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, refer to the models of the whole TIE Series without punctuation.The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels The only exception is the T.I.E. starfighter, the forerunner to the standard Imperial vessel.
The description of an unusual TIE fighter tumbling out of control in the Yavin system matches the fate of the advanced prototype piloted by Darth Vader in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, during the Battle of Yavin sequence. However, the 2003 comic Empire 14 showed the whereabouts of Vader's fighter, and no mention of a collision with another starship was made.Empire 14
