The Y-TIE was one of the composite starfighter designs known as
"uglies." The Y-TIE was a starfighter built by replacing the standard engine package of a BTL Y-wing starfighter with the radiator wings and ion engines of a standard TIE/ln starfighter. The laser cannons from the TIE replaced the ion cannons in the Y-wing's turret, and the TIE's sensor package replaced the Y-wing's missing sensor array.
This ship was one of the more common "Ugly" designs, thanks to the fact that Y-wings and TIE Fighters were two of the most common ship designs in use.
The Y-TIE was neither fast nor maneuverable, because the TIE propulsion
system was built for a much smaller craft but it was comparatively durable and packed a punch. In a way, it combined the strengths of both fighters, having better shields and weaponry than a TIE/ln starfighter and better engines and firepower than a BTL Y-wing, whereas the opposite can be said for the
TYE-wing.
