The Defender was 5.3 meters long and armed with three laser cannons: one in the nose of the craft, and one each on either side beneath the wing. To save space and weight, the standard Defender starfighter was not equipped with a hyperdrive. Its extendible S-foil maneuvering struts could retract into the spaceframe for non-combat situations, but once an enemy had been engaged, the struts swung down and forward to give the Defender better positioning for maneuvering-jet bursts.

- The Defender Star Fighter, also known as the New Republic Defender is a starfighter designed and produced by the Republic Engineering Corporation, specifically for the New Republic. At 6 meters in length, the Defender is crewed by a single pilot. Armed with 3 fire-linked laser cannons, this easy to pilot fighter maintains its role as a space superiority fighter. Its extendable S-foil maneuvering struts can retract into the spaceframe for non-combat situations; but once an enemy has been engaged, the struts swing down and forward to give the Defender better positioning for maneuvering jet bursts.

| abstract
| - The Defender was 5.3 meters long and armed with three laser cannons: one in the nose of the craft, and one each on either side beneath the wing. To save space and weight, the standard Defender starfighter was not equipped with a hyperdrive. Its extendible S-foil maneuvering struts could retract into the spaceframe for non-combat situations, but once an enemy had been engaged, the struts swung down and forward to give the Defender better positioning for maneuvering-jet bursts. While sudden maneuvers in an atmosphere actually risked tearing off the struts (due to the G-forces, the gravity of the planet itself, and atmospheric drag), in space, the Defender could literally spin around 180 degrees in mid-flight by firing one maneuvering jet forward and one backward.
