Star Wars: TIE Venom

The TIE Venom is the smallest and swiftest TIE starfighter ever to be made, slightly surpassing the speeds of the TIE Hunter. The Galactic Empire began use of it during the 10s BBY. The Venom is has a similar shape to the TIE Interceptor, although it has five small aerodynamic wings and is equipped with five precision laser cannons and ten light ion torpedoes. One squadron of TIE Venoms could immobilize a small capital ship. During the Battle of Korriban in 20 ABY, three squadrons of Venoms were deployed while a Rebel rescue team was evacuating Bothan spies from Korriban, although the Rebel rescue team jumped into hyperspace just in time, excluding a destroyed frigate and a couple of T-67 X-Wing starfighters.
