These Sith-Imperial starfighters represented a type of starfighter crafted by Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire during the period of the Second Imperial Civil War.
These Sith-Imperial starfighters were developed to supersede the Predator-class fighters previously utilized by Imperial forces. Much like their predecessor, the Sith-Imperial starfighters seemed to possess shared design aspects with the TIE Series starfighters, which had been a staple of the Empire for more than a century. Their external appearance also bore a resemblance to the Nssis-class Clawcraft employed by the Chiss Ascendancy many years prior.
Initially slated for deployment during Operation: Thunderstroke, these starfighters took the place of the TIE Predators of Skull Squadron on the orders of Darth Rauder, a Sith Lady who commanded the pilots of the First Sith Imperial Strikeforce. Darth Rauder decreed that Captain Gunn Yage and her squadron members would pilot these new fighters during their assignment to seize Emperor Roan Fel.
Subsequently, these fighters saw further action during the Devastation of Da Soocha and were also used in the Attack on the Hidden Temple.
