Description:  The TIE/XS looks like the TIE Defender but the solar
              panels look like the ones on Darth Vader's TIE.  The 
              Lasers are mounted on the pylons holding on the panels 
              and there are two underneath the cockpit.  The Ion 
              Cannons are mounted beside the Lasers on the pylons.
              The Concussion Missle Launchers are mounted in tubes 
              under the chin guns. 

Capsule:  The TIE/XS program was begun and recived it's funding 2 
          hours before the Battle of Endor.  The program has finally
          begun the production phase 2 years after the Battle of Endor
          and was funded throughout by a group from Byss.  The TIE/XS
          is ment to replace the TIE Avenger and possibly the TIE 
          Defender as the best starship in the galaxy.  As of now 
          there is only one known TIE Striker squadron operational,
          but Sienar/Santhe isn't saying anything.

Deployment:  The TIE Striker is mainly used for hit and run on New 
             Republic convoys and on battle crusiers.  They are also
             deployed as interceptors and close support craft to
             bombers and missleboats.
