Info

The two-gun Light Defender was an early version of the three-gun "Heavy Defender", seen in early screenshots about a year before the game's release. There was also a "Light Interceptor," but this eventually became what we now know as the Scout. The Light Defender, having little utility, was dropped from the game.

The Taiidan Light Defender was, as you can see, substantially different from the final version of the Heavy Defender.
