Bursting from Imperial hangar bays in gnat-like clouds are the standard starfighters of the Imperial arsenal - the Twin Ion Engine craft known as the TIE starfighter.
从帝国机库中蜂涌而出的就是帝国军的标准星际战斗机——被称为TIE星际战斗机的双离子引擎飞船。

The single-seater short-range vessel lacks a hyperdrive, and as such requires deployment from launch bases and capital ships. It features two fire-linked laser cannons chin-mounted on the ball-shaped cockpit.
这种短程单坐战斗机缺少超空间驱动器，因此必须部署在发射基地或主力舰内。它有两门火力同步激光炮被安装在球型驾驶舱下部。

TIE fighters were typically employed en masse to make up for their shortcomings. Speedy and maneuverable, these fighters are nonetheless fragile. Though hard to hit, even a glancing blow can destroy a TIE.
TIE战斗机通常集体出击以弥补它们的弱点。虽然快速灵活，但这些战斗机很脆弱。尽管很难被击中，但一次擦伤就足以摧毁一架TIE。

Though TIEs presented a formidable challenge to pirates and civilian craft, the skilled pilots of the Rebel Alliance made short work of them in combat. The Alliance workhorse, the T-65 X-wing starfighter, continually bested the TIE in numerous engagements. As the Galactic Civil War raged on, the standard TIE arsenal was supplemented with more advanced and specialized craft, such as the fearsome TIE interceptor and the dedicated TIE bomber.
虽然对海盗和民用飞船而言，TIE是严峻的威胁，但老练的义军同盟飞行员能在战斗中迅速解决它们。同盟主力——“T-65”X翼星际战斗机——在无数次交战中不断战胜TIE。随着银河内战的加剧，更先进和更有针对性的飞船——比如可怕的TIE截击机和专用的TIE轰炸机——被补充进标准的TIE家族。

衍生宇宙



During the waning years of the Republic, Republic Sienar Systems first developed the original T.I.E. fighter, the craft that was the forerunner to the standard Imperial vessel. When Palpatine cemented his rule, the rechristened Sienar Fleet Systems entered into an exclusive arrangement producing the starfighters of the Imperial Starfleet.
在共和国日渐衰落的岁月里，共和国西纳系统公司最早开发原始的双离子引擎战斗机，这就是后来帝国标准飞船的先驱。帕尔帕廷巩固其统治后，改名了的西纳舰队系统获得帝国星际舰队星际战斗机的独家生产权。

With this transition came the upgrated TIE, which went under continual revisions until the TIE/ln became the standard line starfighter in Imperial use.
这一转变促使升级后的TIE问世，它经过不断改造，最终成为帝国使用的标准一线星际战斗机——TIE/ln。

The hexagonal solar panels supply power to a unique propulsion system. Microparticle accelerators propel Ionized gasses at a substantial fraction of lightspeed. These gasses are then expelled from rear vents to generate thrust. The ion streams can be directed along amost any vector, allowing for the TIE's incredible velocity and maneuverability. The twin ion engines have few moving parts and require comparably less maintenance to the starfighters of the Alliance.
六边形的太阳能板为一个独特的推进系统提供动力。微粒子加速器将电离气体加速到光速的几分之一。然后这些气体从后排气孔射出，产生推进力。离子流可以被引导至几乎任意方向，为TIE带来难以置信的速度和机动性。双离子引擎几乎没有活动部件，相对而言比同盟的星际战斗机更易保养。

TIE fighter units are typically organized into wings -- a grouping of 72 fighters carried aboard a Star Destroyer. These wings are subdivided into six squadrons of 12 fighters each. One of these squadrons is typically made up of TIE interceptors while another consists of TIE bombers. Each squadron consists of three flights of four fighters each. Each flight contains two elements. An element is the smallest tactical unit of starfighters ever deployed, and consists only of a leader and a wingman.
TIE战斗机作战单位通常被组成一个个联队——由一艘歼星舰携带的72架战斗机。每支联队被分成六支由12架战斗机组成的中队。在这些中队里，有一支通常由TIE截击机组成，另一支由TIE轰炸机组成。每支中队下辖三支由4架战斗机组成的小队。每支小队包含2支分队。分队是可以部署的最小星际战斗机战术单位，由一架长机和一架僚机组成。

TIE production was extremely modular and automated, as the Sienar foundries churned out countless starfighters to fuel the insatiable Imperial war machine. Variant models of the basic TIE include the TIE/rc (a model with advanced sensors and communication gear for reconnaissance missions), the TIE/fc (equipped with accurate fire control and target designation for long-range naval bombardments), the TIE/gt (with an enlarged hull to delivery heavy ordnance).
由于西纳的工厂必须制造无数星际战斗机来满足永无止境的帝国战争机器，因此TIE的生产极其模块化和自动化。基本TIE战斗机的变种型号包括TIE/rc（为侦察任务而配备先进传感器和通讯装置的型号）、TIE/fc（为远程海军轰炸而配备精确火控和目标指示装置）、TIE/gt（为投掷重火力而配备加大的机身）。

幕后



The TIE fighter design was first established in a concept model by Colin Cantwell. The simplified model defined the TIE's most distinctive features -- its ball cockpit and twin hexagonal wings. Subsequent sketches built up the TIE's form. Limitations in visual effects technology at the time dictated that Cantwell's blue color scheme be replaced with a more bluescreen-friendly gray. As the classic trilogy progressed, the TIEs regained a bit of their blue hue, although use of that color was fairly muted.
TIE战斗机的设计初建于科林·坎特韦尔的概念模型。这个简化模型定下了TIE最为与众不同的特点——球形驾驶舱和一对六边型机翼。随后的草图确立了它的外型。当时视觉特效技术的限制迫使坎特韦尔的蓝色方案被更适合蓝幕技术的灰色所取代。随着经典三部曲的发展，TIE恢复了一点蓝色调，但这种颜色几乎察觉不到。

The distinctive scream of a TIE fighter's engines came from sound designer Ben Burtt mixing the sound of cars streaking by on a rain-slicked highway and the trumpeting cry of an elephant.
声音设计师本·伯特将汽车在天雨路滑的高速公路上飞驰而过的声音与大象的叫声混合在一起，创造出与众不同的TIE战斗机引擎啸叫声。

Although literature attests that TIEs lack such pilot-friendly features as ejection seats, LucasArts' popular TIE fighter simulator game of 1995 showed that at least some Imperial units retrofitted the life saving devices into the craft. After all, it wouldn't do to have players die after every botched mission.
虽然图书资料证明TIE缺少像弹射椅这样的飞行员友好设备，但1995年卢卡斯艺界的热门TIE战斗机模拟游戏表明至少某些帝国部队为这种飞船安装了救生设备。毕竟，让玩家每次在任务失败后都死掉不太好。
