TIE Fighter
TIE Fighter is an Imperial starfighter in Star Wars: Rebellion. The in-game encyclopedia says TIE fighters make up most of the Imperial starfighter corps. The craft has no life support, shield generators or hyperdrive, so it is cheap to build in large numbers. Its only weapons are two laser cannons mounted below the pilot's control pod.
In the game
Each TIE Fighter squadron costs 3 refined material to build and 3 to maintain. It has no hyperdrive and a shield strength of 0.
The infobox values come from the game's data file. Movement ratings are internal numbers that the manual does not explain, so they are best used to compare fighters.
The manual advises filling a fleet to capacity with TIE fighters, with spares in case some are lost in battle. It also notes that TIE fighters can defend the system where they are stationed.
