There is no defender because nobody is attacking yet. If you have a ship in your firing arc at range 1-2 and target locked, when its that ship's turn to pick a target and shoot, before they do you can spend your target lock to do a boost or barrel roll. You could be behind them and be boosting into range 1 for a better shot or you could be in front of them and dodge out of their arc.
