The A-6 Interceptor was a nimble short-range starfighter,[1] manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards during the waning days of the Galactic Republic. It was equipped with triple laser cannons.

A-6 Interceptors were used in the Stark Hyperspace War. In the First Battle of Qotile, they were part of the fleet of Ranulph Tarkin's Republic Outland Regions Security Force. Jedi-piloted A-6 interceptor[1] squadrons, including Red and Blue Squadrons led by Jedi Master Saesee Tiin, launched from Trade Federation freighters in the final battle of the conflict.[3]

It was the predecessor of the A-7 Hunter interceptor and eventual A-9 Vigilance interceptor.

Behind the scenes[]

The Republic-affiliated starfighter that appeared in the 2001 comic arc Republic: The Stark Hyperspace War was retconed by The Essential Guide to Warfare as being the A-6 Interceptor from the Jedi Quest novel.[4]
