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.

Well it scares me plenty!
