ATL Interceptor


History


The ATL Interceptors were used by the Fromm Gang to defend Trigon One in 15 BBY, in addition to use in short-range planetary defense.

The design of the ATL Interceptor was later used by the Republic Engineering Corporation to create the Defender starfighter for the New Republic as part of the Defender program. The Defender starfighter entered service relatively quickly in the years after the Battle of Endor and was used for atmospheric and short-range space defense.

The ATL Interceptor from the animated television series Star Wars Droids was based on one of the last toys of the Kenner Star Wars toy line, the ATL Interceptor. However, it had originally been designed as the Death Star Defender, which was intended for use in the Return of the Jedi toy line. The same design was later used in West End Games RPG adventure The DarkStryder Campaign to create the Defender starfighter.
