The TIE Advanced Starfighter, with a hyperdrive unit, energy shields and quicker recharging lasers, was custom built in response to the X-Wing Starfighter. It has been said by some that the TIE Advanced has the shields of the Y-Wing, the laser power of the X-Wing and the speed of the A-Wing.

It is an excellent multi-role craft derived from Lord Vader's TIE Advanced X1 prototype. Be warned rebel scum... it is extremely deadly.
