That would be this: the Spector-Class Storm Commando Carrier. Stats to follow.

As I'm prepping to write up the Spector, it occurred to me that I've never done a write-up for the TIE Hunter, which Fractalsponge did several years back, and can be clearly seen on the hangar racks of the Spector. So, in addition to banging out stats for the Spector tomorrow, I'll be doing the Hunter as well.
Per the EU, the Hunter apparently only ever saw service with the Storm Commandos. Honestly, it seems a little silly that an advanced TIE model would only ever see service with a commando (as in, not pilots) unit. Maybe instead of the Storm Commandos themselves, it could be a parallel aviation unit (picture the Imperial equivalent of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment "Night Stalkers") that flies the shuttles and support fighters that operate with with the Storm Commandos.
Anyway, expect stats tomorrow.

I'm leaning toward making the Hunter a stealth platform. It has shields, so I could just as easily equip it with Stealth Shields. I'm already picturing equipping it with the Modular Mission Pack system I have as an option for the TIE Interceptor, and combining the two would allow it to serve as a multi-role stealth combat platform in a variety of different roles.
Anyways, today has been a busy, busy day for me. The stats for the Spector are mostly done and just awaiting the fluff write-up. I'll work on it tomorrow, then follow up with the Hunter.

Alternately, there is mention of two different versions of the Hunter, one with greater range and cost than the other. I could jumble up some of the numbers here and make two different versions: one standard, and one stealth, with the latter being the one that gets assigned to storm commando units.
Here's the details from Wookieepedia:Version 1 has:
-A x1 Hyperdrive
-2 days of Consumables
-Costs 100,000 Credits
Version 2 has:
-A x2 Hyperdrive
-5 days of Consumables
-Costs 275,000 Credits I'm scratching my head as to why picking up 5 days of Consumables costs 175,000 credits and requires downgrading to a slower hyperdrive.
So, what I'm thinking is:Version 1:
-A x2 Hyperdrive
-2D Shields
-5 days of Consumables
-Costs 100,000 Credits
Version 2:
-A x2 Hyperdrive
-2D Stealth Shields & a layer of Sensor Baffling
-2 days of Consumables
-Costs 275,000 credits That way, there's a "standard" TIE Hunter that parallels the official version of the Hunter, with a much rarer and more expensive "stealth" variant that operates almost exclusively in support of Storm Commando units.
EDIT: A similar approach would be to make the stealth version a limited production run that was followed up by an "economy" version that deleted the stealth features to reduce costs for mass production.

Unofficially, Fractal hinted pretty early on that it was the 3, but he didn't want to actually come out and say so because he didn't want to deal with a horde of fanbois in the comments going all Ackchually on him.

Spector-Class Special Operations Transport
Images
The Spector is a specialist high-speed transport used primarily by the Empire's Storm Commando units. Highly classified, even the procurement process in the Imperial Senate was obscured by labeling the craft as an "escort carrier", though it was anything but.
The Spector is one of the fastest ships in the galaxy, designed for rapid deployment and support of special operations forces. The ship can carry a reinforced platoon of troops, as well as a mixed squadron of assault shuttles and fighters for support. It is also extremely well-armed for its size, with a huge array of missile and torpedo launch tubes firing into its rear arc, in addition to a decent mix of dual turbolasers and anti-starfighter weaponry.
Unfortunately, the ship is also quite fragile, and lacks the staying power and shield strength required for an extended battle with most ships its size. Its extensive ordnance capacity is used almost exclusively in emergencies, holding off pursuing vessels while the Spector makes a high-speed escape.
Ideally, the Spector operates from concealment, using its excellent sensor suite and sensor masking systems to evade detection while deploying its carried forces.

I'd like to see how he'd vision up a golan 1 or 2 then.

He takes commissions, at $40/hour. Just as an example, I asked him for a quote on doing a couple variants of his Broadsword AFV and he quoted me 10-15 hours, with the lions share of the work involving designing a new turret for one of them. I expect that designing a full ship or station could run in the dozens or hundreds of hours range. You do the math.
Considering the quality of his work, $40/hour is more than fair, especially since most of the stuff he produces is done for personal enjoyment. But I certainly don't have the spare cash to shell out for something like that.

So, I followed through on commissioning Fractalsponge to do the project mentioned here, and he got it done several weeks ahead of schedule.
Here's the photo gallery of the MAVr-A7 Broadsword with the rear drum removed. Check out #11 in particular; it's a scale shot of a Broadsword alongside an AT-AT, a Chariot and a Scout Stormtrooper.
Stats to follow (I have tomorrow off).

Yup. Stimulus money well spent, IMO.

My bank account cried out in pain just from looking at this post.
