The TIE/sa bomber had two hulls next to each other the starboard hull carried the pilot and the port carried a pair of general purpose warhead launchers, enabling them to carry a variety of weapons tailored for the mission. The latter nickname was due to its bulky structure making it much slower and far less maneuverable than other TIE craft. The “sa” in the TIE bomber’s designation stood for “surface assault.”ĭue to their distinctive dual-hull shape, TIE bombers came to be referred to occasionally as “dupes” or (albeit indirectly) “sitting ducks” by enemy pilots.
