The Imperial Guard TIE Interceptor is a quest reward for completing a series of quests from the Civilian Protection Guild at the Kashyyyk space station. This starfighter is identical to the TIE Interceptor in all respects except for 30,000 extra mass, winglets, and a deep crimson color.
Star Wars Lore[]
Although the standard TIE Interceptor was considered the limit of what rank and file pilots could be equipped with, the Emperor himself invested considerable resources into creating a superior version of the TIE. This new TIE Interceptor continued the doctrine of fear with a deep crimson color reminiscent of blood. Although this fighter was far too expensive for widespread use, the Emperor's Imperial Guardsmen were often seen piloting this vehicle.
Pilot Commentary[]
Among Imperial pilots, the Royal Guard Interceptor (referred to by many as the RGI) is the cream of the crop. Unlike the Jedi Starfighter (JSF), the RGI has speed, maneuverability, weapons slots and mass to reflect the physical size of its chassis. Its 80k mass is large enough to allow for many combinations including a RE level 8 Borstel, a level 8 RE QID with a Protecto-Net and a Mk II Img-Rec missile launcher; or a QID and a RE lvl 10 weapon with missiles.
Take advantage of the RGI's maneuverability and maintain high speed turns in dogfights. The chassis is small enough and weapon shots often pass through the wings, but the chassis is by no means as small as an A-Wing or a JSF.
