;In ''Star Wars Legends'' continuity
A number of different TIE designs made their appearance in what is now considered [[Star Wars Legends|Star Wars ''Legends'']], a separate continuity that was split off after Disney acquired the ''Star Wars'' franchise.  The TIE/sa was the inspiration for the triple-hulled TIE lander, featured in ''[[Star Wars (Marvel Comics)|Star Wars]]'' No. 60 and in ''Star Wars: Complete Locations''. Red-modified TIE interceptors are also used by [[Palpatine|the Emperor]]'s Royal Guards, as featured in ''Rage of the Wookiees'', another expansion of ''Star Wars Galaxies''.

Additionally, LucasArts ''Star Wars'' video games introduce several TIE variants, such as the TIE Hunter starfighter in ''[[Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike|Rogue Squadron III]]'' and the TIE Mauler surface vehicle in ''[[Star Wars: Empire at War|Empire at War]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swempireatwar/indexFlash.html|publisher=[[LucasArts]]|access-date=July 25, 2007|title=LucasArts: Star Wars: Empire at War}} Gallery -> The Armies -> TIE Mauler</ref> The TIE/ad fighter  (nicknamed "TIE Advanced" or "Avenger" in-game and derived from Vader's TIE Advanced x1 fighter) and TIE/D Defender — heavily upgraded derivatives of previous craft seen in the ''Star Wars'' universe — first appear in ''TIE Fighter'' as player-pilotable craft.<ref name="TIE defender Behind the Scenes"/> The plot of ''[[Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire|Rebel Assault II]]'' revolves around destroying the Empire's ability to manufacture the [[Cloaking device|cloaking]] TIE Phantom starfighter, and a campaign in ''[[Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance|X-Wing Alliance]]'' centers on destroying experimental remote-controlled TIE fighters.
