Instead of the standard ball cockpit, it mounts a larger cylinder one similar to the TIE Bomber, and has a dagger-like solar panel wing, similar to the TIE Interceptor, mounted on the top. This wing is normally completely flat in cruise mode, but can angle down for combat. Boasting better atmospheric speed and maneuverablity over other TIES at the time, it was used to protect important Imperial ground facilities. The solar wing is specially designed to aid in the Striker's maneuverability and boosts its power, allowing it to mount a second set of lasers (in the wing itself).The extended body can be configured in two ways: passenger or bomber. In passenger mode, the Striker can carry 6 troops standing that deploy via an underbelly ramp. The bomber mode has a bomb chute and room for a second crew member to act as bomber. This allowed the Striker to attack fortified ground facilities or ground vehicles.In Coreline the T.I.E./sk Striker is used mainly by anyone with the credits, but mainly sold to the Imperial groups, GFFA and other militaries that want easily replaceable craft for protecting ground based facilities.T.I.E./sk Striker (PL6)Type: UltralightSubtype: FighterSize: Huge (-2)Tactical Speed: 4500 ft/ 2110 (211) atmosphereDefense: 8 (10 base -2 size) +4 vs missilesFlat-Footed Defense: 8 (10 base - 2 size)Autopilot Defense: Hardness: 20Hit Dice: 7d20 (140 hp)Initiative Modifier: (+2 Init and +5 Maneuver in atmosphere)Pilot's Class Bonus: Pilot's Dex Modifier: Gunner's Attack Bonus: Length: 20.1 ftWeight: 7,700 lbsTargeting System Bonus: +1Crew: 1Passenger Capacity: 0Cargo Capacity: 100 lbsGrapple Modifier: Base PDC: 37Restriction: Res (+2)Attack: 4 fire-linked laser -1 ranged 12d8, 20, fire, 3000 ft, s/aAttack of Opportunity: Bonuses:Due to the small size and design, the TIE/sk Striker enjoys a +2 bonus to Pilot checks for stunt maneuvers. In an atmosphere, gains +4 to Pilot checks for stunt maneuvers.Standard PL(6) Design Spec: Twin Engine, Improved Thrust, Agile, Narrow Profile, Simple Controls, Ejector Seat, Modular PodEngines: Ion engineArmour: PolymericDefense Systems: Sensors: Class II, Targeting System, Missile Lock AlertCommunications: Radio TransceiverWeapons: 4 Laser cannonsGrappling Systems: AgileAs long as the TIE/sk starfighter is moving (not stationary, so had moved the turn before and the current turn), the TIE gains a +2 Dodge bonus to defense, which stacks with any other Dodge bonuses the pilot has. This bonus applies to anyone targeting the TIE, and not just one specific target the pilot designates.Narrow ProfileDue to the small cockpit of the TIE/sk, but the large wing area on the top, any attack that would normally strike the TIE/sk starfighter has a 50% chance of missing due to passing through the empty space around the ball body between the wing.Simple ControlsThe TIE/sk starfighter has extremely simple controls, allowing someone without Starship Operations feat to only suffer -2 to Pilot checks with the TIE starfighter, and only gain half the bonus from the TIE's Agile properties.Ejector SeatThe cockpit is fitted with a seat that has rocket boasters, and designed to quickly blast away the canopy, or top hatch to eject the seat and pilot to safety in the event the craft is destroyed immediately. Upon the craft reaching 0 hit points, the ejection system will eject the pilot safely away. However if the craft would be destroyed (see table 7-5 for destruction threshold, d20 Future pg 113 for negative hit points for ship type) by the attack that bought the equipped craft to 0 and below, the ejection seat still ejects the pilot, but must make a Reflex save DC 18, failure the pilot suffers half damage from the ship's destruction (10d6), success means the pilot only suffers 1/4 the damage (5d6). The pilot must have a space suit or other means to survive the vacuum of space. If the ship is destroyed while in a planetary atmosphere, it is equipped with a parachute to safely land.The ejector seat is also equipped with a distress beacon which can be programmed for either general distress on all frequencies, or set to only friendly forces.Modular PodPart of the cockpit/body is modular, allowing one of two modules to be installed. Switching pods takes about 30 minutes of work with a Craft Mechanical check DC 20.Passenger Module: This allows the TIE/sk Striker to carry 6 troopers standing that can exit as a move action from a belly ramp, up to 2 troops at a time. PDC 20Bomber Module: This module has a bomb chute and a bomber position that requires a second crew member. This module includes the targeting systems and sensors to allow the TIE/sk to make bombing runs, able to drop a single or 2 fire-linked bombs at a time. Able to carry 10 bombs.
