Want to fly a TIE Fighter, but want to do it for freedom, liberty, expression and garish paintjobs? Now you can, with Sabine-Wing's Sabine's Sabine TIE Fighter! 

While ships being shared across factions isn't a new concept, some Imperial players are butthurt that the "Rebel Scum" get access to their iconic ship, or that FFG's design is lazy to release this ship, but fundamentally the two factions' versions of the ship are very different. While the stats and actions, dial and general cost scale are the same, Imperial TIEs tend toward swarm lists, or pocket aces for low costs, and the Rebel version functions more as a support ship. It has several unique elements (prepare for the word "unique" to lose all meaning). The first is that all four of it's pilots are uniques, meaning the maximum number you can field is half that of Imperials (protip: if you have a red core set and two Sabine's TIE expansions, you can field all four at once). <s>Secondly, it adds a new unique title ''Sabine's Masterpiece'', which represents the gadgeteer's tinkering with the ship and adds the Crew and Illicit upgrade options, and can only be equipped to the Rebel version. The last is a unique modification called "Captured TIE", which prevents ships with a lower PS skill from shooting at you, so long as you're not the last rebel ship on the board and don't attack yourself - and leads to hilarious imagery of Imperial and Scum grunts unsure if this brightly painted TIE is one of theirs or not.</s> The concentration of "unique" pilots and upgrades means it's unlikely to see more than one or maybe two Rebel TIEs in a list, and that it makes an ideal single filler ship like a Z-95 if you want some options.
*The Rebel TIE is based on a plot thread from the first season of ''Rebels'', where the team steals a TIE fighter and Sabine modifies it a little, then it returns to be used as a decoy to sneak into an Imperial ship. In the new Canon, TIEs have very basic life support systems - but the safety suits keep pilots alive in case of a breach or failure (likely without shields) so the Lothal rebels really took their lives into their hands to cram 4 or 5 of them into a single eyeball.

===Pilots===
*'''"Zeb" Orrelios''': Same Initiative and ability as in the Shuttles. He was actually the one who originally stole and flew the fighter, before Sabine went all "college art major" on it. Zeb's ability is actually more useful in a TIE which has no shields to absorb crits.
*'''Ezra Bridger''': Ahsoka got snubbed for this punk.
*'''Captain Rex''': A clone commander under Anakin Skywalker, like most clones he was retired after the war due to accelerated aging, but he's not too old to kick ass. His ability assigns a special condition called "Suppressive Fire" to the enemy when he attacks, which makes them roll 1 less die when they shoot anybody other than Rex meaning he can do some real tanky stuff. The condition goes away when you shoot Rex, Rex is destroyed, or Rex doesn't shoot for a turn. This condition is unique, so it can only assigned to one enemy ship at a time. Rex never had an opportunity to fly the TIE, appearing in the show after it was used, but who cares, Rex is awesome.
*'''Sabine Wren''': Sabine's third pilot card, her repositioning ability working wonders in the agile TIE.
*'''<s>[[Squat|Ahsoka Tano]]</s>''': <s>Anakin's former padawan, who left the Jedi Order before the war ended and acted as an agent for the early rebels. Ahsoka has a PS of 7 and an EPT, making her an ideal pairing with VI so only the tippy-toppest of Pilot Skills can shoot at her with Captured TIE. Her ability lets her spend her focus to give an ally at Range 1 a free action at the start of the Combat Phase. At only 17 points this means there are a number of cheap combinations of upgrades Ahsoka can take to make her a useful support ship. Like Rex, she didn't have time to fly the Rebel TIE when originally introduced, but she has been known to pilot an A-Wing.</s>
