TIE Poacher. A swing-wing hunter-killer for the discerning Imperial Operator.

By Refugeanoth, in X-Wing

The TIE Poacher was a derivative of the TIE Punisher platform that was designed specifically for use by Imperial Special Operators. These vessels were customized to suit the specific needs of the individual operator from mission to mission, and thus seldom shared exactly the same weapon loadout or equipment from ship to ship, but all Poachers were equipped with swing-wing panels equipped with micro-thrusters and were coated in a scan-scrambling black nanopaint that aided in keeping the vessels usually nefarious activities well-hidden. A pair of heavy weapon hard points mounted on the outside of the wing panels could be fitted with anything from rocket pods, to mass-driver cannons to light turbolaser weaponry and those weapons, coupled with a quad laser cannon beneath the cockpit and the standard modular weapon pods and bomb chutes flanking the cockpit made the Poacher one of the deadliest and most well armed starfighters in the galaxy.

Uh...

Yes please.

You felt it necessary to make the Punisher...

wider?

umm?

Oh look, someone bred a punisher with a tie droid.......

Creative!

Perhaps it will be an actual usable Imperial Bombing platform!

I was actually really close to cutting the middle of the wings in exactly that way and decided against it to avoid the similarities with the droid. Still happened somehow!

I like it.

Eh...it's no this thing.

Yeah, where is @ficklegreendice I'm surprised he hasn't commented yet

Mere fantasy cannot excite me anymore. Not even the first order SS SillySnoke can impress when you let my imagination run wild

Yes, but given the choice, wouldn't you want to look for that delicious Poacher?
