The TIE Vanguard is a variant of the TIE/rc, and it is often deployed first to collect detailed data on enemy ship movements before a full fleet engagement. This successful reconnaissance craft is equipped with limited shields to protect the valuable data it gathers. To increase its sensor visibility, its wings have been angled. Its design evolved from the TIE/rn and TIE Scout, both are variants of the standard TIE Fighter modified for information gathering and spy missions. The TIE Vanguard is one of the few TIE designs which features deflector shields.
