Very Cool!

Weren't these featured in I, Jedi?

Or one of the Wraith Squadron books?

I vaguelly recall reading an Expanded Universe novel featuring those craft any how. Written by Michael A. Stackpole with Kieran Halcyon as a leading character.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know of at least a few EU works that various uglies showed up. TIEs were widespread surplus that were low cost to modify after the Empire fell, and a lot of them ended up in use by criminals and planetary defense forces.
