As the Empire greatly expanded in its early years, it tasked many of its most steady suppliers to develop war material with conservative budgets. Santhe/Sienar Technologies, developers of the TIE starfighter series, took this recommendation to heart in the development of the TIE ap-1, also known as the TIE mauler. It was designed to fulfill the Empire's need for a light, fast and cheap ground vehicle to combat the increasing threat of the Rebellion.
帝国在早期急速扩张的年代，要求其许多最稳定的供应商以保守的预算开发军用物资。桑希/西纳技术公司——TIE星际战斗机系列的开发商——在开发TIE ap-1时牢记这个要求。当时帝国需要一种轻型、快速和廉价的地面交通工具对付日益增长的起义军威胁。TIE ap-1又被称为TIE“碾压者”，其设计满足了帝国的需求。

To keep costs down, TIE maulers are built with a standard TIE fighter cockpit that is suspended between two massive tank treads. The first units were field tested early in the Galactic Civil War and were used throughout the conflict.
为了降低成本，TIE“碾压者”是用标准TIE战斗机的驾驶舱建造的。这个驾驶舱被悬挂在两条大型坦克履带间。第一批单位在银河内战早期接受战场测试后，就一直被用到内战结束。

The TIE mauler sacrifices armor for its speed and maneuverability. It is armed with rapid fire laser cannons to mow down enemy infantry. TIE ap-1 drivers quickly discovered that the maneuverable tank treads proved an even greater weapon against enemy troops, and the gruesome spectacle of this treaded TIE running over Rebel troopers earned the vehicle its informal name. Since TIE maulers are lightly armored and can be destroyed with concentrated fire, they are typically released in groups of five.
TIE“碾压者”依靠牺牲装甲来换取速度和机动性。它装备了能撂倒敌人步兵的速射激光炮。TIE ap-1驾驶员很快发现，用灵活的坦克履带对付敌军效果更好。这种履带式TIE碾过义军士兵的可怕景象为它赢得了这个外号。由于TIE“碾压者”装甲轻，容易被集中火力摧毁，因此它们一般五个一组出现。

TIE maulers are also equipped with a highly explosive self-destruct device that can be activated in an emergency. The TIE mauler ultimately saw limited service, though it did inspire the more advanced TIE crawler design, also known as the century tank.
TIE“碾压者”还配备有能紧急启动的高爆自毁设备。最终服役的TIE“碾压者”很少，但它启发了更先进的TIE履带车，即世纪坦克。
