The Defender is a short range starfighter specially designed for space defence. It is light weight and compact, and therefore has no room for a hyperdrive. It has poor atmospheric flight but makes up for it with its incredible maneuverability in space. The S-foils are deployed to increase its maneuverability and are tucked flush with the hull when not in combat. In the atmosphere the struts are flush with the hull avoiding them being ripped off in the planet's atmosphere.
