Darth Vader?s TIE Advanced. During the Battle of Yarvin, in Star Wars IV: A New Hope, faced with a guerrilla style attack by the Rebel Starfighters, the Empire trusted the seemingly invincible Death Star?s technological superiority to triumph.

The TIE Advanced is characterised by a hull made of duralloy steel, an extended after deck and unique solar cell wings. The Tie Advanced quickly became one of Darth Vader?s favourite ships. Like all the TIE ships, the prototype has a drive system consisting of twin ion engines. Its solar ionization reactor is reputed to be much more powerful than that of the standard TIE Fighters. The TIE Advanced has proved itself in battle, as it is capable of withstanding many direct hits. In addition, the pilots? chances of survival were considerably enhanced by the incorporation of a hyperdrive system, which enables the ship to escape from hopeless battle situations.
