Thunderbirds (Film)

A film from the Thunderbirds universe
For many years there were rumours of a live action Thunderbirds movie. Gerry Anderson, unfortunately had sold the rights, so when Jonathan Frakes directed the 2004 version, he had no creative input. Liked by some, but disliked by many die-hard fans, the film was criticised for a number of things. Over the top product placement was one of...

Tiberium

A creature from the Command and Conquer universe
Tiberium is a strange extraterrestrial 'plant.' It is inorganic, not being carbon based. It came to Earth in a meteor shower and began to spread quickly.

TIE Advanced

A vehicle/ship class from the Star Wars universe
The TIE Advanced was a potent prototype fighter, the most notable of which was flown by Lord Darth Vader himself. The TIE Advanced was far superior to any ordinary TIE fighter - its bent wing assembly allowed it to gather more solar energy, a feature which would be passed on to the TIE bomber and TIE interceptor. It had modest shields and ...

TIE Bomber

A vehicle/ship class from the Star Wars universe
The TIE bomber is a variation on the basic TIE design, created to deliver heavy ordnance against ground targets and capital ships. The TIE bomber is instantly recognizable because of its bent wings and two-pod hull.

TIE Defender

A vehicle/ship class from the Star Wars universe
The TIE defender was an advanced TIE model equipped with an impressive array of weapons and abilities. With a respectable shield system and a hyperdrive, it was in fact a tacit admission by the Imperial Navy that Rebel starfighter tactics were successful, and that ordinary TIEs and TIE interceptors were the inferior craft of an inferior doctrine....

TIE Fighter

A vehicle/ship class from the Star Wars universe
Like a swarm of locusts, TIE fighters seem to have endless numbers no matter how many are killed. Practically the definition of 'cannon fodder,' TIE fighters are poorly defended, minimally armed, non-FTL, and very cheaply produced craft designed for maximum expendablity. Despite their reputation for being flying tin cans, however, TIE fighters are ...

TIE Interceptor

A vehicle/ship class from the Star Wars universe
The TIE interceptor was designed as a replacement for the rather weak TIE fighter. By the Battle of Endor, 20% of TIE fighters had been replaced by these craft. TIE interceptors are superior to TIE fighters in all but two areas: they still lack a hyperdrive and are still unshielded and poorly armored. They are, however, faster, far more ag...

Tigershark

A vehicle/ship class from the Wing Commander universe
The Tigershark is a development of the Hellcat design and like the Hellcat is a jack of all trades but master of none.

TKO

An episode from the Babylon 5 universe
An old friend of Garibaldi's visits the station seeking to take part in an alien fighting tournament, risking his life in the process.

T'Loth Class Assault Cruiser

A vehicle/ship class from the Babylon 5 universe
