I-a2b solar ionization reactor was a power system designed by Sienar Fleet Systems. They powered the TIE fighters,[1] although the I-s3a solar ionization reactor would also see use.[2]
Behind the scenes
The I-a2b first appeared with the TIE fighter itself in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope[3] but was not identified in canon until Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon 32.[4] It is misidentified as a window in the young reader's book Ezra and the Pilot, an adaption[5] of the Star Wars Rebels short "Property of Ezra Bridger."[6]
