What is TIE Clutch Heavy? Or why Heavy?
This is the heavy variant of TIE Clutch - Ugly star fighter build by the skilled ex-empire mechanics in the dark corners of the Galaxy ( Invids ). A more advanced version with additional weapons, shields, hyperdrive and fully pressurized cockpit. Fast, agile, highly maneuverable and deadly - the best of all TIE variants in one craft. The only TIE variant used by the Rebel Alliance and of course completely illegal UGLY only for the most wealthy outlaws. It's main role was a long range assault starfighter/bomber. It was also equipped with advanced sensors and long range communications. The few units which fall in the hands of criminals, pirates and adventurers were highly praised for their heavy punch, speed and maneuverability. In one to one dogfight it was able to outmatch any other starfighter, only the pilot skills would limit it.
The best tactics will be to jump out of hyperspace near the target, hit hard and buzz around until the rest of the fleet emerges, or run out of range and re-group for a second round.
Pirates and outlaws of all caliber would prefer the variant with twin ion cannons for it's ability to stun most targets with a single shot and only three blasts being sufficient to disable an Arquitens-class command cruiser.
