TIE (Twin Ion Engine) fighters are aboard even the smallest cruisers and are stationed at starports and garrison bases across the galaxy.
The TIE fighter is a small ship whose distinguishing feature is the pair of large hexagonal solar array wings on either side of its small, spherical cockpit pod.
The fighters are used for planetary and cruiser defense and assault against Rebel, pirate and alien vessels.

 TIE/D Automated Fighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Star Wars Expanded Universe, a Droid TIE fighter or TIE/D fighter is a vehicle used by the Galactic Empire.
Much like the TIE Fighter, they are powered by twin ion engines but piloted by a droid brain, a Cybot Galactica Ace-6 fighter unit.
The TIE/D was developed by the Imperial Remnant to serve as expendable support fighters for living TIE pilots, since living pilots were in short supply.

 TIE/D Fighters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The droid brains weigh under ten kilograms and, due to their smallness, can be installed in virtually any fighter which allows the computer interface.
Logic circuits within the brains allow the droids to apparently pilot a fighter with the same ability as a human, although tests have proved this to be untrue.
Although the droid fighters have heavier armour plating, the lack of a pilot gives the fighter the same weight as the standard TIE fighter.

 TIE/D automated starfighter - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
The TIE/D automated fighter, or droid/drone TIE fighter, was used by the reborn Emperor Palpatine during his attacks on the New Republic in 10 ABY.
Sienar Fleet Systems engineers based the TIE/D on their original TIE Fighter, and as a result, many of the vehicle's design elements came from the standard TIE.
The droid starfighters of the Clone Wars provided Imperial scientists with the basis for a new automated fighter.

 TIE/ln starfighter - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
The TIE/ln starfighter, often referred to as the TIE Fighter, was the standard Imperial starfighter seen in massive numbers throughout the Galactic Civil War.
The TIE/ln, a descendant of the T.I.E. starfighter and the V-wing, both developed for the Galactic Republic, was manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems.
The original TIE/ln fighters seen in A New Hope were relatively white in color; the TIEs of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were more grey with a gradual blueish hue added during post-production.

 Amazon.com: LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid: Toys & Games   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Vulture Droid that chases Anakin through the stars is a definite step-up from the original, butt-ugly-brown Droid Fighter set of past years, while the Starfighter is as fresh a ship as the Tri-Fighter or even the ARC-170 Fighter--also featured in the Sith line.
The droid fighter is reminiscent of the brown droid fighters from Episode 1.
The Vulture Droid is not fragile at all.

 AMT/ERTL Star Wars Droid Fighters
The Droid Fighters are used in 'Star Wars - Episode I' as remote-controlled drone intercept vessels, owned and operated by the bad guys of the story, The Trade Federation.
The Droid Fighters themselves are just a cheap and fast gun-platform (similar in principle to the later Imperial TIE Fighter design).
If you don't want to represent the vehicle in flight, you also have to fill in the plinth hole on the underside, but as this is a very small model (8cm in length x 4.3 cm in width, to be exact) this is simple to modify.

He was a fine officer and able to firmly entrench in over a third of the known galaxy, bringing peace and order to all the rebellious and terrorized words in the liberated sectors.
The first TIE Raptor models were actually droid fighters, just like the TIE Droid.

The Droid tri-fighter features three semicircular ribs surrounding a central spherical cockpit, which is seated in place on universal joints that allow the cockpit to spin like a gyroscope to face any direction.
The Droid tri-fighter includes two detachable missiles and a central cockpit that rotates to any angle.
As for the Droid tri-fighter, I wouldn't consider this Skill Level 1—it has more than twice the parts as the starfighter and is far more difficult to assemble—requiring far more effort and manual dexterity to put the three ribs together properly.

 TIE fighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TIE interceptor took this propulsion method to the next level, adding control flaps to the propulsion nozzles at the rear of the craft, allowing it to make tight turns and rolls impossible in Rebellion craft.
Since "[a]fter stupidity and hydrogen, TIE cockpits are the most plentiful resource in the galaxy" many pirate groups and planetary self-defense groups began accumulating a number of Clutches.
It was also fast, maneuverable, and powerful, like its predecessors, the original TIE fighter and the more advanced TIE interceptor.

This is my version of the standard TIE fighter.
I have the Darth Vader TIE, and I've had the TIE bomber, and I know that the official TIE fighter had the same cruddy wing wobble as the other official TIE's.
I did a partial fix on this on my TIE Interceptor, but this MOC has the 'total' fix for the wobbles - and I take a second to show how to retro fit any other TIE's to fix the wobble.

 Arms & Equipment Guide Extras!
One of the top two producers of droids in the galaxy (the other being Industrial Automaton), Cybot Galactica has built its success on humanoid droids, in particular the 3PO protocol droid, but its droid empire spans the range from binary load lifters to security droids.
Industrial Automaton droids dominate the astromech droid category, while its 2-1B Surgical Droid and MD specialist droids are found in most decent hospitals and its inexpensive ASP labor droids are found in systems throughout the galaxy.
So universal were its droids that its survivors may still be found throughout the galaxy, primarily on backwater worlds where droids survive in brutal conditions.

 Lego Set Review: 7150 - TIE Fighter & Y-Wing
Just then a strange, fl TIE fighter slid in behind Sponge and he found himself unable to evade, as if in the grip of some mysterious force.
First off, despite what the box says, this is Vader's custom TIE and not the normal TIE Fighter, although you can make it into a TIE Fighter with minimal effort.
For some odd reason, the TIE seems designed so that he has to fly it standing up, but this is fixable with a single 2x2 brick.

 Ace-6 droid brain - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
The Cybot Galactica Ace-6 droid brain was a droid brain used by the Imperial Remnant and the reborn Palpatine in the Droid TIE Fighter.
Although more advanced than the droid brains used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, they were no match for living pilots.
The production of the TIE/D was halted due to the Remnant realizing that droids didn't have the quick thinking and wit of living beings.
