The TIE/sa bomber (Twin Ion Engine/surface assault bomber) or the TIE Bomber is a TIE fighter used for the Galactic Republic during the late part of the Clone Wars and later used by the Galactic Empire during The Last of the Droids era. Many TIE Bombers are stored on Acclamator-class assault cruisers and many other Imperial-I class Star Destroyers. TIE Bombers are the Imperial/Republic version of Hyena Bombers.
Characteristics[]
The TIE/sa bomber has two hulls next to each other; one carries the pilot and the other carries a pair of general purpose warhead launchers, enabling them to carry a variety of weapons tailored for the mission. The bomber is much more heavily built-up than the "fighter"-series of TIEs; it carries more sophisticated sensors to penetrate capital ship jamming and SFS P-s4 twin ion engines powered by a SFS I-a2b solar ionization reactor to allow a full payload to carry at a reasonable speed.
The evil TIE Bomber
An Imperial Star Destroyer generally carries a squadron of 12 bombers. The TIE bomber is capable of carrying at least one of the following payloads, for a total of 15 metric tons: sixteen concussion missiles, twelve proton torpedoes, eight proton rockets, six space mines, four proton bombs, sixty-four thermal detonators, or thousands of propaganda pamphlets.
