    Very Cool!

    Weren’t these featured in I, Jedi?

    Or one of the Wraith Squadron books?

    I vaguelly recall reading an Expanded Universe novel featuring those craft any how. Written by Michael A. Stackpole with Kieran Halcyon as a leading character.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Yep, “I, Jedi”.

      It was one of my favourite EU books

        That feel when Disney easter-egg canonized your favorite EU character.

        That feel when you realize it probably means he died to Darth Emo and a sidenote goon squad in the offscreen Academy purge while Luke cried in a corner or something.

      I know of at least a few EU works that various uglies showed up. TIEs were widespread surplus that were low cost to modify after the Empire fell, and a lot of them ended up in use by criminals and planetary defense forces.
