TIE/fo Space Superiority Fighter

The TIE/fo Space Superiority Fighter, also known as the First Order TIE Fighter was a starfighter utilized by the First Order. It was manufactured by Sienar Jaemus Fleet Systems, it carried on the appearance of its predecessor the TIE/In Space Superiority Fighter utilized by the Galactic Empire.

Characteristics
As the First Order is a successor state of the Galactic Empire, It continued to use the TIE/In design for it's modern starfighters. The new TIE Fighters were upgraded to modern combat standards. Due to the less bureaucratic nature of the First Order, its engineers were able to produce more technological innovations, this resulted in the advancements on the older imperial TIE's included on-board deflector shields, which provided better protection and offensive capabilities, as well as improved solar cells and higher-capacity convertors. These upgrades were a result of the Order's changes in treatment of their pilots as they saw them as critical military assets rather than cannon fodder. however like its Imperial predecessors, it still lacked a hyperdrive, which meant they couldn't go on long range missions and they became reliant on carrier ships, like the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer for transportation.

The First Order TIE Fighter was expensive and complex to make, but was less versatile than the Resistance's T-70 X-wing and RZ-2 A-wing fighters. The TIE/fo is powered by vertical P-s6 twin ion engines, but lacks a hyperdrive which limits it to short-range missions. The TIE/fo also features a Torplex flight computer which controls the vessel. It is armed with twin L-s9.6 laser cannons. The solar panels that are fitted into the TIE Fighters wing gather light energy, which is channeled through high efficiency coils

The TIE/sf Space Superiority Fighter is the two-seated variant of the TIE/fo, it is limited to the elite pilots of the First Order.
