description:
  "The Twin ion engine Hunter was an Imperial starfighter which had a wing configuration roughly the reverse
  of a TIE/IN interceptor. Similar to the T-65 X-wing starfighter, the TIE Hunter possessed S-foils, 
  which meant that they would open in attack mode and close in normal flight. This was largely because
   the TIE Hunters were created by the Galactic Empire specifically as a means to counter the T-65 X-wing 
   starfighter. Unlike most other contemporary TIEs of the time, TIE Hunters were equipped with a hyperdrive
   and shields, making them more valuable than most starfighters the Empire utilized. Because of these 
   characteristics, it was also considered to be the fastest TIE variant among the Imperial fleet.[2] When 
   the S-foils were closed, the craft could not fire its weapons"
