MC80 Liberty Star Cruiser

The MC80 Liberty type Star Cruiser was the most common subclass of the MC80 line.

They would also be the least powerful, cheapest and earliest to make according to my limited knowledge of Mon Cal ships. But at least they could carry starfighters into battle.

TIE/gt Starfighter

The TIE/gt (Ground Targeting) was a first generation ground bomber for the Imperial Navy. It was later replaced by the TIE/sa Bomber.

With one less laser to defend itself and a smaller bomb complement, it was less effective in its role as a bomber.

You can read the Wookiepedia entry here.

I am not sure about using this ship in the mod. I might use it only as a ground vehicle like I did in a previous test version of the mod. What do you think? Is it worth including this?

TIE Advanced x1

The TIE Advanced was developed and started as a test bed for Darth Vader. Based on improvements made during its design the TIE/IN Interceptor and TIE/AD Avenger were created.

You can read the Wookiepedia entry here.

The TIE Advanced was produced in very small numbers due to its cost. Some were used for roaming fleets where their hyperdrive made them useful.

Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 Starfighter

The Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 Starfighter, more commonly called the ARC-170 Starfighter was a heavy assault starfighter used by the Republic and later the Imperial Navy.

The ARC-170 was the predessor of the X-Wing Starfighter. The Imperials used this vessel until the cheaper TIE/sa Bomber replaced it. It was still considered an elite unit well into the Galactic Civil War.

TIE Scout

The TIE Scout, or TIE/sr Starfighter as it was officially known was a scouting and light recon vehicle used by the Imperial Navy.

It's lack of shielding, light armour and single laser made it a poor choice in combat. The TIE Scout had a hyperdrive to aid in its recon role.
