The TIE fighter was the unforgettable symbol of the Imperial fleet. Carried aboard Star Destroyers and battle stations, TIE fighters were single-pilot vehicles designed for fast-paced dogfights with Rebel X-wings and other starfighters. A TIE fighter's twin ion engines provided thrust and boosters capable of quickly adjusting the ship's direction, however in order to minimize power drain, the TIE lacked key systems such as deflector shields and hyperdrives. The fighter's black wings were in fact an array of twelve solar collectors that pooled power and directed it to the fighter's twin engines and low-temperature lasers. It's central cockpit was tightly fitted, incorporating flight controls, viewscreens, targeting systems, tracking equipment—including a homing beacon in case the vessel was stolen—and room for a pilot all in the central pod. Despite being designed for a single occupant, several other passengers could fit inside the central cockpit, although the fit would be extremely tight Flight controls on the other hand were considered intuitive and easy to learn, in some cases allowing rebel novices to fly and operate them after having stolen them from Imperial airfields.
