The TIE Phantom, also referred to as a Phantom V38, was a prototype TIE series starfighter developed by the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. A modified V38 assault fighter, the TIE Phantom was the result of a development project led by Grand Admiral Martio Batch and was equipped with both deflector shields and a hyperdrive, along with a technology not seen for decades—a stygium cloaking device.
Strengths[]
TIE Phantoms are fast and posses a decent amount of firepower. They can prove to be an invaluable asset to anti-fighter combat and can help assure bombers are taken care of. They can also cloak, making good to use for surprise attacks and hit-and-run guerilla style tactics.
Weaknesses[]
TIE Phantoms aren't very weak, but they aren't invincible either. They lack versatility and are no match for Corellian Corvettes or Crusaders. Their combat capabilities are strictly limited to starfighter combat and bomber escort.
