Conveniently, it would have been quite close to where Kylo Ren was left standing, making it easy for him to stumble upon his grandfather's TIE. If any TIE survived the chaos, it would be Darth Vader's.
And - as seen in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - this part of the Second Death Star was largely intact on the moon of Kef Bir. It's reasonable to suggest this was another prototype, perhaps even used by Darth Vader. As a pilot, Vader would have wanted an easy way to get to it from the Emperor's Throne Room, so there was likely a hangar close by. The TIE Advanced x1 hasn't been seen anytime near Return of the Jedi, but Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker confirms the Death Star was stocked with at least one TIE Fighter with a functional hyperdrive the one Kylo Ren took. Vader would no doubt be interested in future prototypes with enhanced functionality as well. Darth Vader possessed a prototype it was damaged during the Battle of Yavin, but the Dark Lord of the Sith liked the freedom of being able to travel independently, and replaced it. One of these was the TIE Advanced x1, which boasted shields and a hyperspace generator. A handful of key figures enjoyed the thrill of starfighter combat, and in the years before the Galactic Civil War the Empire commissioned a number of prototype TIEs with advanced functionality. But some high-value Imperials preferred to lead from the front, including Grand Admiral Thrawn. The Empire never really cared about the survival of their troops, viewing them as expendable, which explains why TIE Fighters don't tend to have shields. Related: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's Biggest Plot Holes It's all a little too coincidental - but there is a possible explanation. It's a solid attempt to fix an awkward plot hole, but it's far from perfect, because the simple fact is that Imperial TIEs were rarely equipped with hyperdrives. It wasn't easy, and he's described as needing to "coax into flying for him." Making matters worse, the navigational systems were only partly functional, so he had to depend on his own flying skills and the Force. According to Rae Carson's official The Rise of Skywalker novelization, he managed to find a damaged TIE equipped with a hyperdrive, and repaired it to get to the Unknown Regions. He was abandoned on Kef Bir, left standing among the wreckage of the Second Death Star. Take, for example, the question of just how Kylo Ren got to Exegol.
