===Pilots===

*'''Delta Squad Pilot''': A squadron of loyal TIE Defender pilots who fought against turncoat TIE Defenders when the man responsible for the creation of the Defender betrayed and attacked the Empire. Initiative 1 generic.
*'''Onyx Squadron Pilot''': The first official TIE Defender squadron, deployed at Endor. Initiative 4 with Talent slot.
*'''Captain Dobbs:''' (''SSA'') Thrawn's replacement commander after Vult Skerris's death. When another range 0-1 friendly is being shot at, if Dobbs is in the firing arc, he can ionize himself to cancel 1 hit result.
*'''Countess Ryad''': Imperial politician who took up piloting as a hobby, went full-time after Endor. When you reveal a Straight maneuver, you can treat it as a white K-Turn. Ryad with the config upgrade should basically never get stressed.
*'''Colonel Vessery''': A member of the Imperial Remnants who had command of the Stranger and Interloper squadrons. Fought alongside the New Republic Rogue Squadron, and trained them in Imperial tactics. After he rolls attack dice on an enemy, if they are being Target Locked by someone else he also obtains one and can immediately use it if he wants.
*'''Vult Skerris:''' (''SSA'') Skerris again. He helped test the TIE Defender, and later used it in battle. He was doing well in the battle, but [[Derp|ignored a direct order from Thrawn]], who correctly deduced that Skerris was falling into a trap. This allowed Hera Syndulla to shoot him down, [[FAIL|causing his crashing ship to domino-effect a command cruiser and a Star Destroyer]], losing his life, and nearly the battle had his commander not been, y'know, ''Thrawn''. Has the same ability as he does in an Interceptor, where he can strain himself to delay his action until just before he engages.
*'''Rexlar Brath:''' Leader of Onyx Squadron. Reworked and hugely improved from 1E. If he lands a shot while evading, he exposes a random damage card. Juke makes him ''nasty'' to deal with.
**It's worth mentioning that his ability does not specify primary attack, so it can be used on [[Rape|both Cluster Missile attacks]] or [[What|with a Tractor Beam]]. He also makes Homing Missiles much scarier.
**Seyn Marana can help Brath get to work on those crits while a target's shields are still up.
*'''Darth Vader:''' (''SSA'') The fans demanded and the devs delivered: Vader in a Defender. Vader is a monster here, bringing the principles of [[Rage|Juyo]] to the table and costing more than half of your points in standard play. He has 3 Force points which can ''only'' be spent while attacking, but can turn blanks into hits.
