Description
Originally exclusive to the forces of Warlord Zsinj and not truly a SFS design,created in Zsinj's shipyards at Dathomir. The most distinctive feature of this fighter is the absence of wing pylons and the direct attachment of smaller radiator panels to the cockpit ball. This would have resulted in a reduced ability to dissipate heat from the fighter's systems and lead to the fighter not performing to its full potential, but the evolution of the technology over time mitigated this drawback. The fighter's small profile made it more agile and harder to hit.
In the Emperor's Hammer, the TIE Raptor was the preferred fighter of the Sector Rangers. Two of the laser cannons were swapped for ion cannons when called for in a particular assignment.
The illustrations in Cracken's Threat Dossier are problematic. They only show signs of two of the four laser cannons described in the text. The weapons would more plausibly be mounted on wingtips similar to those of the TIE Phantom or TIE Interceptor.
