Eighth Brother's TIE fighter

Canon Linked from 8 articles

The Eighth Brother's TIE fighter was a TIE/ad v1 starfighter used by the Eighth Brother, a Jedi hunter of the Galactic Empire's Inquisitorius. It was manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems sometime between 4 BBY and 3 BBY. The TIE was equipped with shield generators and an armament of two L-s9.1 laser cannons and a projectile launcher. With a P-s5.2 twin ion engine, the TIE fighter could reach speeds up to 1,600 kilometers per hour, or 994 miles per hour, in atmosphere with a maximum acceleration of 4,150 G.

In 3 BBY, the Eighth Brother piloted the starfighter to the planet Malachor in his search for the former Sith Maul, a task assigned to him by the Inquisitorius leader, Darth Vader. There, his TIE/ad v1 was tracked by the rebels Ezra Bridger, C1-10P, Kanan Jarrus, and Ahsoka Tano during their search for knowledge to defeat the Inquisitors. The Eighth Brother confronted the rebels but attempted to flee to his starfighter, arriving too late as the astromech droid C1-10P found his starship and turned it against him. The Inquisitor later perished on Malachor, leaving his starfighter to be claimed by Maul.
