  TIE avenger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oddly, however, while Darth Vader's craft resembles a single pod TIE Bomber, the TIE Avenger's wings and body are very similar to the TIE Defender, although the Avenger features the traditional bi-wing configuration instead of the revolutionary tri-wing of the Defender.
The TIE Avenger was a very competent starfighter, capable of meeting most any opponent on even ground and providing an overmatch for the majority of enemy starfighters in service.
The Avenger was initially developed by Sienar Fleet Systems as an intended replacement for the rapidly aging TIE/In starfighter, but the Avenger's cost did not endear it to the Empire's massive bureacracy.

 TIE defender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TIE Advanced x1 (Darth Vader's TIE Fighter) and the TIE Avenger (also known as the TIE Advanced, causing some confusion with the former) were two fighters produced during the development process which would ultimately cumulate into the TIE Defender.
The TIE Defender, along with the TIE Avenger, Assault Gunboat, and Missile Boat, could also be equipped with a tractor beam which is used to snare enemy agile starfighters, although this usually halved the Defender's warhead load.
The TIE Avenger's shields were decreased to less than an X-wing or A-wing, while the TIE Defender's shields were decreased to the level of an X-wing or A-wing.

 TIE Advanced x1 - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
The TIE Advanced x1 (TIE/x1) was a prototype starfighter field tested by Darth Vader at the Battle of Yavin.
TIE Advanced prototypes were deployed from Commander Strom's light cruiser to stage an attack on the Wheel, which the Empire blamed on the Rebellion, excusing the Imperial takeover of the station.
Although the TIE interceptor lacked a hyperdrive and shields, it was blindingly fast, incredibly maneuverable, and significantly cheaper than the TIE Advanced x1.

 TIE Defender - Star Wars
The TIE Defender initially appeared in an expansion pack for the computer game "TIE Fighter", the expansion pack being set in a time period somewhere between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
In the games, the TIE Defender was far superior to any other starfighter, and the plot of the series rarely had the TIE Defender fighting Rebel craft.
The TIE Defender has the advantage against the X-Wing and perhaps all other Rebel craft (save perhaps the A-Wing and its speed) in every respect, upping the X-Wing with its two ion cannons, and two missile launchers with an increased capacity.

 Imperial Fleet: TIE Avenger
Perhaps the biggest departure however was in its defensive and hyperlight propulsion capabilities; the TIE Avenger was the first production TIE fighter to mount shields or a hyperdrive system.
This was seen by many as a tacit admission that the Imperial starfighters of the day were inherently inferior to their shielded, hyperdrive capable counterparts in the Rebel Alliance.
In the end, the TIE Avenger has seen only a modest production run in spite of its superior performance; Imperial planners have chosen for the time being to pursue the development of the more traditional (and much less expensive) TIE Interceptor instead.
