The Empire soon learned that the Rebels were planning an ambush at Vinzen Neela 5, where the prototypes were to be transferred to the Imperial escort carrier Hininbirg. The Empire's loss at the Battle of Yavin forced it to reconsider its tactics in fighting the Rebellion. Can Luke Skywalker use the Force to help Wicket create a firework display that no one will ever forget?That, combined with the realization that the inclusion of a hyperdrive would allow the fleet to be more flexible, caused the Imperial Navy to rethink its doctrine of using swarms of cheap craft instead of fewer high-quality ones, leading to the introduction of the TIE Advanced x1 [15] and its successor, the TIE Avenger.

The Assassin-class corvette group Chemeti was sent to deliver supplies to the Red Claw and retrieve the rescued scientist.

Flown by elite pilots, TIE Defenders aided in the destruction of the Rebel ships and the Empire went on to capture the Rebel base. However, Imperial forces were able to hold off the Rebels until the transfer was complete and Hashim group fled to hyperspace. As Zaarin launched his coup, Hamo Blastwell, a Rebel agent posing as an Imperial officer, attempted to steal the plans to the starfighter from the Glory. Within the cloud were hidden thousands of miniature tracking devices which would attach to the hulls of surviving fighters. TIE Defenders were heavily involved in the subsequent Battle of Mindor, engaging New Republic starfighters as they arrived in orbit of Mindor, and subsequently ambushing New Republic reinforcements, including the Millennium Falcon, as they approached the system.

By the time that the TIE Avenger, modified by Zaarin to use the Habeen hyperdrive technology, entered service, the TIE Defender project had reached the final prototype stage [2] and the Empire was planning to roll the finished product out as a replacement for the Assault Gunboat. Although the tri-wing design of the ship was in place for the initial prototype, the ship was intended only as a test bed for the drive and targeting systems; [30] it did not have the final ion engines [32] and lacked the hyperdrive, ion cannons, and missile launchers which were incorporated into later prototypes and the final design.

You know how to create incredible visuals, but how can you recreate the authentic sounds of Star Wars™, from a blaster being fired to Darth Vader’s heavy breathing? The TIE Interceptor is an awesome build and is bigger than I thought, while the Fang Fighter is okay but not very exciting to me. With her TIE Defenders caught unprepared, Tarrak's starfighters were quickly eliminated and her factory soon fell to a combined Missile Boat and TIE/sa bomber attack, while Tarrak herself was captured as her ship attempted to flee. A heads-up display assisted the pilot in aiming the ship's weapons and displayed data from the ship's threat warning system. The Empire soon came to suspect that Zaarin had been planning his coup during the development of the TIE Defender, using its advanced technology to give him an advantage over loyalist forces.

Honestly I could see the Fang Fighter being a Galaxy Squad set given the right color scheme and mods. Defender squadrons could combine their firepower to eliminate a target as large as Alliance Space Stations, while still covering the starfighter interception role. The fighters were not equipped with particle shields, relying on the reinforced titanium hull to absorb impacts from matter.
