Think of your skills tree. The first horizontal line across is tier one,on top of that is tier two, etc. When you target a npc and it says tier 3, then presumably it has all the lvl 3 skills. (even though they don't, just consider it as a difficutly level comprared to you) If you only have the first line of boxes, and you go up against a tier 3 TIE, he prolly has three times the shields, armor, and weapon power as you.
