STRENGTHS
- Powerful Bomber: The Demolisher lives up to its namesake, being equipped with thirty-six proton bomb deployment chutes that can rain down an exorbitant amount of destruction on a wide stretch of land. Powerful laser cannons, ion cannons, and concussion missile launchers can make quick work of any fighter unfortunate enough to cross its path.
- Well-Defended: The Demolisher is outfitted with comprehensive deflector shields, a trait shared by all TIE fighters in use by the Sith Empire, and reinforced hull plating that can take a good several hits and keep on going.
- Slow Ion Drives: To compensate for all of the heavy ordnance the Demolisher has only enough engine systems to get it from A to B and is not designed for excessive speed or rapid maneuverability. Most other fighters can outpace it fairly easily.
- No Hyperdrive: Like all non-elite TIE fighters in the Sith Empire, the Demolisher lacks a hyperdrive.
Another evolution in the design of the Sith Empire's starfighter corps, the Demolisher is a heavy ordnance bomber designed for smaller engagements and anti-capital ship combat.
Smaller than the Ajunta StarFortress but larger and more heavily armed than the TIE Heavy, the Demolisher is best suited for dolling out large damage against enemy ships and active or static ground targets.
However, due to its slow ion speed and less versatile anti-starfighter cannons, the Demolisher is best utilized in large pairings with other smaller more maneuverable starfighters like the Sith Empire's TIE Fighter or TIE Interceptor. Such pairings like this are not uncommon in the Empire's Armada, who put a great deal of emphasis on synergy between their various warships and starfighters to command a wider range of versatility when fighting the Empire's myriad of enemies.
