Description: Not much is to be said about the TIE Carida. Named after one of the Empire's historical military academies, the TIE Carida looks similar to the TIE/LN starfighter that was once a mainstay in the Imperial fleet, but in actuality has a completely redesigned wing panel intended to increase ionization efficiency and structural integrity. The result is exceptionally extended longevity for a small ship that can be easily adapted as a pilot trainer, gun trainer, missile trainer, or hyperdrive trainer. All Imperial pilots now go though basic, intermediate, and advanced training in a TIE Carida before their official assignment to a fighter squadron.
