TIE fighters were cheap to produce, reflecting the Empire's view of "quantity over quality." TIE pilots had to wear a fully-sealed flight suit at all times, because the TIE fighter is not equipped with its own life support system. Several captured TIE fighters were modified and used by the Rebel Alliance during the early part of the Galactic Civil War.
