The Tionese Starfighter was a very early model of starfighter used by the empire of Xim the Despot. Primitive compared to contemporary starfighters, the Tionese Starfighter had a small, bulbous body supported between two large wings. Powered by a single engine, it had a long tailboom for atmospheric maneuverability. It lacked a hyperdrive or shields. Its weaponry consisted of a pair of Beam Tubes mounted in the nose and four free-fall bombs under the wings. Its cockpit was cramped and uncomfortable, lacking in amenities.
