TIE Forward Scout Interceptor

Introduced shortly after the TIE Interceptor, the Interceptor/fc is intended to replace the TIE/fc in front line units. It did not enter full production until just a few days prior to the battle of Endor. It is fitted with the secure communications and target designation packageof it's parent, but at the cost of some manueverabilyty and half the weapons systems. For those expecting the lasers to be mounted on the wing tips, they are in for a sorry suprise. They have been moved back to the origional cockpit mounting, with the four hardpoints on the wing tips being replaced with senosrs equipment and imaging cameras. They often fly in tandem with TIE Interceptor/rc's, making a powerful unit. This "hunter element" is usuaully escorted by TIE Interceptors, but if only TIE/ln's are available, the escort usually stays home, so as not to slow down the scouts

A number of these were made with the improved targeting systems and landing gear from the TIE Commando, but due to the extra power and bulk required for the targeting systems, the shield generators could not be installed.
