Following our previous articles about the famous LL-924 variants, more people sent us testimonies and pictures about additional variants that were so far totally unknown to the vast majority of our public.

All things considered, such design really deserved to fly through space. LL-924 TIE Cruiser by Veynom, on Flickr
