The A-6 Interceptor was a small fighter, manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards during the waning days of the Galactic Republic. It was equipped with paired turbolasers.

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. In the Fifth Battle of Qotile, they were piloted by Jedi and launched from Trade Federation bacta ships, divided into Blue Squadron and Red Squadron.

It was the eventual predecessor of the A-9 Vigilance interceptor.
