The TIE Defender, also known as the TIE/D Defender, is a Starfighter used by many Imperial Warlord factions in Thrawn's Revenge.
Unit Description[]
The brainchild of Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin along with the TIE Avenger, the TIE Defender was an evolution of the TIE series intended to counter the Rebel Alliance's starfighter doctrine. It was built to have innate deflector shielding, a hyperdrive engine, excellent speed, and an armament featuring laser and ion cannons, plus a torpedo launcher. As a result the Defender is one of the deadliest fighters in the Empire's arsenal, and only the extreme cost of the craft prevented it from being deployed in mass quantities.
