- Exceptional Maneuverability: The last in the line of the non-stealth interceptors, and thus relatively still "mass" production, the choice was made to further emphasize maneuverability in the design to give it increased survivability, doubling down on the idea that is this starfighter's particular version of defense.
- Thin Armor, No Shields: The obvious drawback to focusing on maneuverability is the necessity of keeping the weight of the craft down, and for this reason, it is still stripped of a shield generator, and has very thin armor capable of only dealing with errant glancing blows. After all, the whole point of the interceptor is not to get hit in the first place.
Although nothing about even the base variant of the interceptor can be considered truly standard by galactic standards, the limited production variant of the TIE Interceptor takes this a step further, doubling down on the notion that the best defense is not to be hit in the first place in a starfighter. Advanced maneuvering thrusters coupled with a high speed and armament make it a deadly opponent against enemy starfighters and bombers, allowing it to launch its attacks, dodge their counterfire, and speed off to prepare another lightning strike.
