"T/I"s are used by the Imperials in Star Wars. It is an improvement upon the basic TIE Fighter, as it is faster, more maneuverable, and has 4 laser cannons. However, it still doesn't have shields, so most rookie pilots don't last long in these. The TIE Advanced is an improvement upon this.

While an A-Wing could take these things out, they give X-Wings a harder time.
