The Empire's newest and most common scout/reconnaissance fighter is the TIE/src. Outwardly, the TIE/src resembles a TIE Avenger with a large sensor drum above the cockpit ball. This drum carries the TIE/src's sensor equipment. The solar panel pylons are longer and thicker, and these also carry sensor equipment. Very fast and equipped with a hyperdrive, the Empire believes that this is their ideal scout.
