Design Features[]

Cramped and compact, the TIE Fighter carries little in the way of extraneous gear. There is no life support, no shielding, no hyperdrives, and the earliest models even lacked ejection seats for the pilots who were considered simply another part of the starfighter and the most replaceable part of it as well. This is the reason why all TIE Fighter Pilots must wear their uniform with a heavy respirator unit as they would not be able to survive without it.
