Vehicle: TIE fighter, TIE interceptor, TIE bomber, etc. Affiliation: Empire

It takes a dedicated warrior with unending loyalty to strap in behind the control yoke of a TIE fighter and pilot the fragile, speedy craft into battle. Imperial combat pilots are well trained to overcome the inherent design flaws of the TIE fighter, and turn it into a formidable and deadly vessel.

TIE fighter pilots wear a flight helmet reminiscent of the stormtrooper design, with breather tubes affixed to provide necessary life support in the cramped quarters of their starfighters.
