Introduced shortly after the TIE Interceptor, the Interceptor/rc is intended to replace the TIE/rc in front line units. It did not enter full production until just a few days prior to the battle of Endor. It is simply an Interceptor fitted with an advanced Sensors package and an upgrade hull. For wings that could get them, if the wing leader also commanded the Interceptor squadron, it was not uncommon for him to requisition one for his personal fighter. It is interesting to note that Empire decided not to simply replace all the Interceptors with the Recon variant, as it is a simple matter to replace the sensors module, and a good tech team could add the extra hull plating in a few days.
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 sensors, the shield generators could not be installed.
