The first TIE Defender prototype was built shortly before the Battle of Endor. The vessel pepresented a radical departure from conventional TIE design by featuring three sets of solar collection panels mounted at equal points around the cockpit.
The Defender's numerous weapon systems allow it to engage multiple enemy fighters, while the hyperdrive system permits it to function independently of support ships or carriers. It is one of the fastest fighters ever used by the Empire, with nearly a 40% increase in sublight speed over the standard TIE.
