The TIE/sa bomber was a beastly modification to TIE Advanced x1. In addition to the curved solar panels, it featured a large bomb bay next to the cockpit.

The TIE/IN Interceptor was a wicked-looking slice of horsepower and firepower. It was designed to be bigger and better than the original TIE–the Empire’s answer to the Rebels’ A-wing.
It was only fitting that Darth Vader, one of the best pilots in the galaxy, should fly his own personal TIE Advanced x1. Its superior speed and firepower made him a formidable foe indeed.
The most notable A-wing pilot, Arvel Crynyd, was famous for an accident–his ship spun out of control and turned a Super Star Destroyer control room into a crater. Despite this, the RZ-1 A-wing interceptor was actually a very nimble and powerful craft.
The Empire’s TIE/LN starfighter was a purely utilitarian design. Barely big enough to hold a pilot, its spherical cockpit was flanked by two huge–and iconic–radiator panels.
