History/Background:The TIE/sk x1 experimental air superiority fighter, also known as the TIE/sk atmospheric fighter or simply the TIE striker, was a streamlined variant of the TIE fighter series starfighters used by the Galactic Empire, most notably during the Battle of Scarif. Specialized for in-atmosphere missions, the atmospheric fighter was identifiable by its horizontal high-speed wings and large central pod. Largely because of its specialization for such missions, it was one of the few TIE models to be used by the Imperial Army as well as the Imperial Navy.
The striker’s wings were unusually shaped; straying from the typical TIE fighter’s wing shapes, the TIE/sk’s wings helped increase the ship’s VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) capacity.[1] The craft was able to gain additional speed by curling down its wings,[6] engaging from flight mode to attack mode.[1]
