Outland TIE fighter

The Outland TIE fighter was a class of TIE fighter series starfighter that was designed as the Galactic Empire was losing its territory. Otherwise congruent to the appearance of a standard TIE/ln space superiority starfighter, the Outland TIE fighter's wings folded when landing on a levelled surface, allowing for ease of access to the cockpit and creating a distinctive form not dissimilar to that of an X-wing starfighter with its S-foils in an open position. In addition, landing gears were concealed inside the bottom of the cockpit to allow for ease of use and stability. The personal starfighter of Moff Gideon, at least one Outland fighter, flown by the Moff himself, was used by his Imperial remnant during the New Republic Era, though the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin took down the starfighter.

A model of the Sienar Fleet Systems' TIE fighter series, the Outland TIE fighter had model-specific landing gear similar to that of the T-65B and T-70 X-wing starfighters flown by the New Republic Defense Fleet. The starfighter had an outward appearance very similar to the TIE/ln space superiority starfighter when in flight, but its solar collector panel wings had the additional capability of folding at the center to form a V-shape.
