"This “fighter” is nothing more than a big, fast, flying bomb. It carries an explosive payload to a target. End of story. And, most likely, end of target."
The TIE Experimental M4, also known as the TIE Bomb, was a guided missile based on TIE series technology and a part of the TIE Experimental Project.
A modified starfighter built by an Imperial research project, the M4 was designed as a cruise missile for destroying capital ships and space stations. With wing panels taken directly from the TIE/SA bomber and a similar central pod and wing struts, the TIE M4 was loaded with enough explosives to detonate with five times the explosive force of a kamikaze TIE/LN starfighter.
With an oversized booster employed in addition to the standard Twin Ion Engines, the TIE Experimental M4 had greater linear acceleration than a TIE/D Defender and as much maneuverability as a standard TIE Fighter. As a guided missile, the TIE M4 had no defensive weaponry. Like the other TIE Experimentals, the M4 was remotely controlled by a modified Beta-class ETR-3 escort transport.
