They received replacements soon after, and used them to pursue the Phoenix Cell Jedi to the temple on Lothal. These were destroyed by Garazeb Orrelios and Chopper when they found them in their hangar. Later on, both the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister were also seen using TIE Advanced v1s during a mission to the planet Takobo to recover a Force sensitive Ithorian baby. Afterward, it was given to the rebellion, where Major Capin Harinar's unit analyzed it. This particular TIE was stolen by Kanan Jarrus and his Padawan, Ezra Bridger, when fleeing the Mustafar system. The Grand Inquisitor was entrusted with a TIE Advanced v1 of his own due to the sensitive nature of his top-secret missions in hunting down Jedi.

Immediately after the unveiling, the TIE Advanced v1 was destroyed by Kanan Jarrus. During the unveiling, it was announced that the TIE Advanced v1 would be produced on Lothal by Sienar Fleet Systems. The TIE Advanced v1 was unveiled on Empire Day, on the planet Lothal, fifteen years after the formation of the Galactic Empire. The Inquisitor's TIE Advanced v1 pursuing rebels " And who better to take this beauty on her maiden voyage than one of the best imperial pilots on Lothal - Baron Valen Rudor." ―Minister Maketh Tua, revealing the TIE Advanced v1 on Empire Day Unlike most other TIE models, the v1 was outfitted with a hyperdrive and basic shields. The TIE Advanced v1 was armed with dual chin mounted laser cannons, stronger than those of the TIE/ln space superiority starfighter, and a projectile launcher, used to fire tracking devices like the XX-23 S-thread tracker. This resulted in low power output from the panels, requiring the engines to run on fuel instead of the solar reactor, which only powered weapons, sensors, and auxiliary systems. Unusual for a TIE model, it had solar panels only on the inside surface of the wings with armor on the outside surfaces in order to make it more resistant to lateral enemy fire. The starfighter was fitted with basic shields, and unlike the TIE Advanced x1, the v1's S-foils could fold in around the cockpit when not in flight, conserving hangar space. It was heavily based off Republic Sienar Systems' own Scimitar. The TIE Advanced v1, or TIE/ad v1, was an experimental TIE fighter model of the Imperial Navy. One of these fell into our hands after the action at Mustafar and Harinar's crew has had a merry time taking it apart." ― Antoc Merrick in The Rebel Files Unusual for TIEs, the v1s have shields, hyperdrives, and folding wing panels. " The Empire's Inquisitors appear to have first dibs on these prototypes.
