==History==
[[File:Kasantiey.jpg|thumb|left|128th TIE Interceptor Squadron leader, Kasan Moor, is disabled at Gerrard V]]
Known for its talented pilots, the unit was led by [[Lieutenant/Legends|Lieutenant]] [[Kasan Moor]]. Moor and the 128th were so well regarded that both she and the squadron were mentioned as an example of what the best pilots and machines can do in the official ''[[Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide]]''.<ref name="handbook">''[[Star Wars: Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide]]''</ref> They encountered the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel]] [[BTL Y-wing starfighter/Legends|Y-wing]] and [[T-65 X-wing starfighter/Legends|X-wing]] flight of [[Rogue Squadron/Legends|Rogue Squadron]] and [[Gold Squadron (Rebel Alliance)/Legends|Gold Squadron]] on the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] of [[Gerrard V]], where they [[Liberation of Gerrard V|engaged]] in a [[Starfighter combat/Legends|dogfight]] with them. During the skirmish, Kasan Moor defected to the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebels]].<ref name="SW:RS" />

==Behind the scenes==
The 128th TIE Interceptor Squadron appears only in the fifth level of the [[1998]] [[video game]] [[Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (video game)|''Star Wars: Rogue Squadron'']], and, ironically, due to a glitch in the game's programming, many of the TIE Interceptors associated with the 128th may end up inadvertently crashing into the surface of Gerrard V, despite being considered "the best of the best".
