The Scimitar Assault Bomber is an advanced version of the TIE Fighter from Star Wars Expanded Universe. During Grand Admiral Thrawn's campaign to retake the Core Worlds from Ysanne Isard and the New Republic, the Scimitar Assault Bombers were developed as a new generation of TIE Bombers. The Scimitar Assault Bomber has a single elongated body and the pilot and gunner sit in a forward shaped module which can eject from the craft and serve as an escape pod. The Scimitar Assault Bomber is supported by two large elongated array wings on either side. Interlocked repulsorlift thrusters provide it with adittional maneuverability. In space, the Scimitar Assault Bomber is faster than any TIE Bomber and in planetary atmospheres it can travel at 1,150 km per hour and its divebomb speed is 1,250 km per hour. It is 8 metres long and thus is longer than the standard TIE Fighter. Its weapons are laser cannons, concussion missiles, thermal detonators and proton grenades. Categopry:Star Wars starfighters
