DESCRIPTION
The Naval Corps of Engineering Model 103, or the TIE Devastator (TIE/dv), is the second TIE model produced by the NCE, but hopefully the first in a line of specialist TIEs. Designed as a heavy assault starfighter, the Devastator combines impressive firepower and cutting-edge technology into a corvette or frigate captain's worst nightmare.

The Devastator's main armament is its twelve heavy hybrid beam cannons from the minds at First United Astral Engineering (FAE). However, you may look at the promo image and see twenty-four beams coming out of the craft, and you'd be right. This is because the designers wanted this ship to convey the idea of overwhelming firepower. They used advanced optics and beam splitters to "cut" the beams in two while maintaining their overall effectiveness and not adding any diminution. Additionally, the Devastator has a small reserve of missiles and chin-mounted mass-driver cannons that use the venerable DSI rounds from N&Z Umbrella Corporation (N&Z).

Switching gears from offense to defense, the Devastator leaves nothing to be desired. The craft is equipped with primary and secondary shield systems, both being from N&Z. The primary is the six-layer SSP-SIXTUS/A system and the secondary is the SS-1 Primera system, which the engineers have opted for higher EMP/ION damage reduction. It has this twin shield system not to keep you in the fight, but to help you escape from the fight safely. Additionally, the rear of the cockpit has Seigurium Light armor plating to protect the pilot from rear threats. From N&Z, it is equipped with the ARD-1 Mono Type Point Defense System coupled to four twin light ion cannon defense turrets mounted on its ventral and dorsal hulls. These are purely for defense and cannot be used offensively. Last but not least, from FAE, the Devastator comes equipped with its inclusive countermeasure module and ECM array, adding to its overall defenses.

The Devastator is also chock full of impressive technology from HPI Consortium. The Devastator has an outer hull coating of Skuggalegt I-pattern Stealth Polymer which reduces the radar cross-section, uses the Environmental Condition Stabiliser System in conjunction with a life support system (a rarity on TIE models), has a copilot in the form of the "Sérhannaðar" AI, and uses the impressive HAPU to power everything.

The TIE Devastator excels in operations requiring overwhelming firepower and durability, such as spearheading attacks on enemy fleets or breaking through fortified defensive lines. It functions best when deployed in squadrons, coordinated to dismantle larger ships while remaining capable of defending themselves against starfighter counterattacks.

A terrifying addition to the Empire of the Lost's arsenal, the TIE Devastator is a symbol of their commitment to unrelenting dominance in space warfare. It ensures that any fleet bold enough to challenge the Empire will face destruction in the face of superior firepower and technology.
