A TIE/fc fighter is equipped to provide accurate fire control and target designation for long-range naval bombardment of ground or space-based targets. A TIE/fc will maneuver near the target, and transmit precise aiming adjustments back to a fleet ship that is safely out of the target's counterfire range. These fighters carry laser target designators to "paint" an enemy target, and are equipped with jam-proof data comlinks.

Though primarily designed to aid capital ship gunnery, a TIE/fc can also provide targeting data to fellow TIE fighters. A TIE/fc only carries a single laser cannon. Although this variant fighter is 20 percent slower than the standard TIE, it is considerably more maneuverable.
