The TIE Phantom, also referred to as a Phantom V38, was a prototype TIE Series starfighter developed by the Axis during the First War. A modified V38 assault fighter, the TIE Phantom was the result of a development project led by Grand Admiral Martio Batch and was equipped with both deflector shields and a hyperdrive, along with a technology not seen for decades—a stygium cloaking device.
