Old Republic T.I.E. Fighter
Posted: 2005-02-21 05:15am
As I understand TIE history is as follows:
T.I.E. Fighter - The first Twin Ion Engine fighter introduced during the old Republic.
TIE Fighter - The next generation of this fighter. Enhanced and modified for use in the Imperial Starfleet.
TIE/ln Fighter - The "perfected" version of the TIE Fighter. The common TIE of the line in use after the Battle of Yavin.
But what exactly does the old T.I.E. Fighter of the republic era look like. Is it like one of the following pictures?

Featured at some unofficial star wars fansites and at least 1 unofficial mod-pack for a PC game.

This is seen in "STAR WARS Tales #21". It is only presumed that this is a Republic T.I.E.
Or are all 3 nearly identical?
