The TIE Predator was often confused with the 1st sector starfighter, but the prd had a completely different shape and role. Eight modular weapon mounts allowed for a large amount of variation between individual prds, since they could be fitted with laser cannons for fighter combat, ordinance launchers for bombing capital ships, plasma cannons to both disable and do some damage, ion cannons to simply and quickly disable, or heavy blaster cannons for general-purpose use against fighters or enemy infantry.

| - The TIE Predator was often confused with the 1st sector starfighter, but the prd had a completely different shape and role. Eight modular weapon mounts allowed for a large amount of variation between individual prds, since they could be fitted with laser cannons for fighter combat, ordinance launchers for bombing capital ships, plasma cannons to both disable and do some damage, ion cannons to simply and quickly disable, or heavy blaster cannons for general-purpose use against fighters or enemy infantry. The ship had four half-hexagon wing panels that extend forward of the cockpit, while four smaller ones extend from the powerful engine block. Three standardized versions existed:
* Dogfighter
* Four heavy blaster cannons
* Four laser cannons
* Assault support
* Four plasma cannons
* Two warhead launchers with three magnetic pulse warheads each
* Two medium Ion cannons
* Light bomber
* Four warhead launchers with four concussion missiles each
* Four heavy blaster cannons
