History: The TIE Devastator was a privite venture by Sienar Systems to
take the TIE Defender to the next level. Orignally just planned as the
TIE DEFENDER-B, by the time the desgin was finished the craft shared
little with the Defender-A outside of a  superfical resembalance.Using
a 
whole array of new systems, new alloys and  redesgining, the craft was
renamed the Devastator.The ship resembled a cross bred between a
stealth 
fighter and the Defender.
    It shared the TIE Defender's wing pattern, but enlarged the engine
compartment allowing for more power generators for the new weapons. The 
larger hull gave room for weapons to be mounted in the ship as 
well,giving it the firepower of many small warships.
   Hyperdrive and shield capablity remained standard, while the rest of 
the ship is experimental. Yes pilots trained to fly the Defender can
fly 
the Devastator, but the ship is more responisve to the controls then 
expected. An advanced droid brain helps control the ship, and operates 
the weapons systems freeing the pilot to handle the ship.
   The original plant that desgined the craft was destroyed by Rebels
soon after the desgin reached the prototype stage. Fifteen various
examples were built, all the same expcept for different model systems
to 
see which worked togther best. Alpha, Beta and Delta prototypes were
destroyed with the plant but the others escaped to various Imperial
worlds. While most of the engineers involved in the project were also
killed, the desgin specs survied through the Sienar databases and the
pilots of the remaining TIE Devastators are eager to engage the enemy.
