Capsule: The TIE/x2 is a refinment of Vader's personal fighter, the

TIE/x1.



It was developed before the Battle of Yavin, and the nine-month-long

field trials ended about six months after that battle.

Only 32 examples of this fighter were ever built.



Most of the equipment tested by this fighter were later incorporated

into the TIE Advanced.

Capsule: The construction of the TIE Advanced was supervised by Darth

Vader and arose directly from the TIE/x series that culminated

with the TIE/Interceptor. Basically, the TIE/Advanced is a TIE/x2 that

has been upgraded to match or outperform the TIE/Interceptor in combat.



The nickname "Avenger" was given to the TIE Advanced by Imperial TIE

pilots. The reason: this was the TIE pilots' vehicle for revenge against

the hated X-Wing and A-wing space superiority fighters.



It was placed into limited production some months before the battle of

Hoth.
