New targeting software was installed in the TIE Interceptor, and the SFS T-s9a targeting computer offered greater accuracy during complex flight maneuvers. The original production model came equipped with four L-s9.3 laser cannons, one installed on each wingtip. This wing design gave the craft a more menacing visage, continuing the Empire's reputation of ruling through fear. This new solar array design gave the Interceptor its unmistakable dagger-like appearance and shrinking its profile to make targeting more frustrating for enemy gunners. The solar collector panels were lengthened and angled, and the forward center section was removed. Like most TIE models, the TIE Interceptor shared nearly identical cockpits, drive pods, and wing brace designs with the TIE Fighter.
