The A-6 Interceptor was a nimble short-range starfighter, 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 squadrons, including Red and Blue Squadrons led by Jedi Master Saesee Tiin, launched from Trade Federation freighters in the final battle of the conflict.
It was the predecessor of the A-7 Hunter interceptor and eventual A-9 Vigilance interceptor.
