The BTL-E9 is based on the S7 variant and its primary mission is to escort other starfighters on strike missions, and make it easier for them to survive by jamming enemy sensors and communications. Another important function is its capability to target the enemy's fire control equipment by using HARM missiles. The E9 has a special in-built computer and sensing array which helps to pinpoint threats and is considered vital to its mission profile. It has a permanently attached belly capsule which contain jamming equipment and carries other mission-variable equipment on the wing pylons and in the semi-recessed missile housings. This equipment reduces the maneuverability plus the speed when traveling in atmosphere. Another drawback is that the E9's jammers shines like a beacon on a capital ships screens. This variant was issued to front-line squadrons about one year after the Battle of Yavin.
