Actually, no. The TIE Fighter game materials call the Delta class Xg-1 "Star Wing" several times - the nickname refers, according to the game manual, to the gunboat's five variable-configuration wings.

Don't hold your breath. I didn't like the Missile Boat.

>Hmm...could the Epsilon be a rename of the Escort Shuttle?

No, it's nowhere near that big. It's basically an Xg-1 with warp nacelles mounted ski-fashion under its fuselage. Single-place warp-capable multirole astrofighter.
