The TIE/fo space superiority fighter, commonly known as the First Order TIE
Fighter, was a starfighter used by the First Order. As the First Order was a military junta inspired by the Galactic Empire, it also kept the TIE/LN starfighter design for their fighters, but upgraded the ship to modern combat
standards. The TIE/sf space superiority fighter was a two-seated variant utilized by the First Order which only elite pilots were allowed to
handle.
Advancements from the Empire's TIE/LN included on board deflector shields that provided better protection and offensive capabilities, improved solar cells, and higher-capacity converters.
These upgrades were a side effect of the First Order's change of treatment towards pilots, seeing them as critical assets rather than cannon fodder.
