The TIE/sa tactical bomber, also known as the TIE Surface Assault Bomber, TIE/sa bomber, Imperial interloper or simply the TIE bomber, was a bombing variant of the TIE series used by the Galactic Empire. An evolution of the TIE/gt, the TIE bomber was their main source of anti-emplacement air-support. They were nicknamed "dupes" by the New Republic pilot Wyl Lark and known as First Order bombers during their service in the First Order Navy.
