Special Features:
Reflec enamel coating: The special coating found on armor was used for the updated design of the TIE Silencer. This allows for the extremely fast fighter to slip past enemy sensors undetected. This makes the Fighter perfect for scouting missions or surprising enemy forces.
Individual Field Disruptor: When activated the Fighter can punch through shield defenses such as Shield gates, this also makes the fighter capable of playing an escort role in ground assaults.
Homing Beacon: The Silencer comes equipped with a homing beacon used to track important targets down if needed.
Life Support: The Fighter has built-in life support systems allowing for the pilot to survive inside for only a limited amount of time when damaged.
Strengths:
Very Fast: With the design from centuries past and state of the art technology. The TIE Silencer is more than capable of living up to its namesake thanks to improvements on the Twin Ion Engines.
Going behind Enemy lines: With the Enamel coating on the Silencer, it makes the Fighter perfect for surprising the enemy or scouting and infiltration missions.
Shield Puncher: With the Ion Cannons and a scaled up Individual field disruptor it makes the Fighter capable to even attack capital ships or other shield based defenses.
Stutter fire Burst: With the Heavy Laser Canons able to fire in stutter bursts it allows to do heavy damage in a short amount of time.
Warhead Variable Loadout: The Silencer is able to carry any warhead type those of which include Concussion missiles, Proton Torpedos, and Ion Torpedos making the fighter a threat to capital ships when in action.
Weaknesses:
Average Defenses: Due to the Very High Maneuverability and Speed it lacks capable defenses and is vulnerable to heavy firepower.
Atmospheric flight: The TIE Silencer was created for achieving space superiority but does do not the same during atmospheric flight. dogfighting in the Atmosphere leaves the fighter very hard to control and maneuver in combat.
Restricted field of fire: The fighter is severely restricted in regards to its line of sight as it could see only in front and side to side, but is vulnerable to attack from behind.
Connected Command module: Due to the solar collection wings connecting to the command module the fighter suffers the risk of going out of control should if any of the wings are damaged.
Stutter fire drawback: Even though the stutter fire does a lot of damage quickly, it is not nearly as powerful as standard blasts thus the firepower decreases due to the quantity that is fired for a time.
Description:
Following the War over the Galactic Alliance, the newly appointed Master of Ren Kyrel Ren was digging through the archives of the Order of Ren on Virgillia and stumbled upon an old schematic. To his surprise, the schematic was for a TIE Design dating back to the first incarnation of the First Order, and as he read more into the design he had learned this was a request for a special type of fighter for Master of Ren Kylo Ren requested by Supreme Leader Snoke. Surprised to have come across a very unique find and often remembering his time as a TIE Pilot before becoming a Ren, he decided that the Ren would need a special fighter of its own to carry out the will of Supreme Leader Sieger Ren and to crush the enemies of the First Order when they are called for in combat. Over the next several months Kyrel had contacted Sienar Jaemus Fleet Systems, the First Order Corps of Imperial Engineers and the First Order Security Bureau Special Projects Division. He met the representatives and told them of his intentions regarding the new fighter, giving them the schematics of the design, he requested the project be top secret under the name. "Project Silencer" And so it was after the fighter was completed he made it known to the Supreme Leader as he hoped it would be a great asset for the Ren to use. The deadly fighter was drastically updated then the previous design of centuries past updated with new technology never seen before on previous designs, reflec enamel coating, standard fighter defenses and new weapon systems making the fast and agile fighter deadly in the hands of the Supreme Leader's servants making them masters of the stars as well as the ground.
