Thanks Doc, the TIE Bomber has always been one of my favorites as well. Although, I think it was really underused in the Original Trilogy. I have always thought of it as a "multi roll" fighter along the same lines of the F-16C Viper (Fighting Falcon), F/A-18F Super Hornet or more accurately the F-15E Strike Eagle, Meaning that it could fight it's way into it's target zone, drop it's ordinance on the target and then fight it's way out.
