A beefier version of the TIE bomber, the TIE punisher built upon that starfighter's success by adding shielding, a second bomb chute, and three additional ordnance pods, each equipped with a twin ion engine.
In addition to its miniature TIE punisher, the TIE Punisher Expansion Pack provides Imperial players with four ship cards and a punishing array of nine explosive upgrades, with which you can obliterate your enemies.
Like the K-wing Expansion Pack, the TIE Punisher Expansion Pack comes with the Extra Munitions upgrade, allowing you to make the most of your TIE punisher's two torpedo slots, two missile slots, and two bomb slots. Even though you're not likely to utilize all these slots, they offer you a tremendous measure of flexibility as you look for the ordnance that's likely to best suit your squad.
Not only can it carry a slightly larger payload than the TIE bomber, the TIE punisher invites Imperial players to perfect their bombing skills by taking advantage of both its innate boost action and its ability to equip a system upgrade like Advanced Sensors. With Advanced Sensors, the TIE punisher can boost into position to drop a bomb right in front of an enemy fighter, and then it can immediately perform its maneuver to fly away.
