Exceptionally fast and highly maneuverable, the TIE Interceptor's design made it an impressive adversary when the Alliance launched its all or nothing attack to destroy the second Death Star above Endor. With blaster cannons firing, swarms of TIE Interceptors were dispatched to engage the Alliance's fighters, unleashing a furious defensive assault to protect the Death Star. Though gallant in their efforts, the TIE Interceptors could not defeat the Alliance, and the Death Star was obliterated.
