A specially-equipped TIE
fighter which employs sophisticated sensors and long-range communications
equipment for reconnaissance, The TIE/rc replaces several designs of
tactical recon fighter that were in use with the Republic. With improved
sensors, it has garnered a good reputation for getting data, and bringing
it home. It features the only set of particle shields found on 2nd
generation TIEs, but since it is armed only with a single laser cannon,
the TIE/rc will always be found escorted by fighters, often a TIE/gt. TIE/rc's
are expected to go into harms way to gather sensor and holographic data
for missions such as finding enemy bases, discovering landing sites,
estimating the size of a distant fleet, and finding targets for ground
assaults. Even with the advent of improved tactical scouts such as the
Vanguards and TIE/fc's, the need for precision sensors and combat
durability keeps the TIE/rc in production. The TIE/rc
was eventually replaced by the TIE Vanguard.
