The elite TIE Interceptor starfighter slices through space at blinding speed with its dagger-like wings and ultrasleek
design. under the command of Baron Fel, the pilots of the 181st Imperial Fighter Group fly these fast, deadly fighters on the side
of the Empire during the Battle of Endor. The red stripes on a 181st unit's elite TIE Interceptor are badges of honor, indicating
that the pilot has destroyed ten or more enemy vessels. Each pilot's uniform also displays the red stripes, crediting him for his
victories in battle.
Points of Interest:
The Elite TIE Interceptor is made up of the winge from 2001's POTJ TIE Interceptor and the cockpit from the 2007 TAC TIE Fighter, all painted in the 181st Squadron from the Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron comic book series.
The 181st Squadron TIE Pilot is a repaint of 2004's SAGA TIE Fighter Pilot, painted to match the pilots of the 181st Squadron.
