Certainly not at first, but I think it inspired the way she was pictured after that:

And we can't really reference to Dark Force 1, I mean... look at what Kyle looked like:

So by this account, I consider Dark Force 2 the first valid source for Jan Ors look.

That DF1 Kyle looks jacked as all hell. I wouldn't pick a fight with him.

Jan

Ibi

Bandits+ hull + missile x2

Some extra points to outfit there. You get mini xwings for Jan to pump to full Xwing status and a nasty alpha strike. Combine with Ibi's usual shenanigans its a fun list.

Jan with ion turret is just begging for VI to make phantoms cry. Gives you a great big zone of control that phantoms can't enter on pain of death.

Moldy Crow plus engine upgrade (plus other assorted upgrades) is my new favourite ship. Though I have been playing Kyle, Jan would work too, though at a steeper cost. Stack up lots of focus early and you get essentially unrestricted use of the engine during the middle of the game without sacrificing offense or defence.

Something like this maybe?

Some good ideas given, thanks everyone.

But it's a bit easier when paired with flanking A-Wings, just don't desperately try to keep everything in the required range bands. .

As an adaptation of the OP's 'heavy swords' list:

Jan Ors, Kyle Katarn (Crew), ICT

2 x Dagger Squadron, FCS, HLC

Yeah, but with my flying style and the range 2 of the Ion Turret, I know I would not get to use Lone Wolf often, if at all, so I would go with the garanteed benefit of Predator. Although I'll admit, thematically speaking, giving Lone Wolf to a Support ship sound kinda funny and is worth using just for that reason: ''Don't worry guys, I've got your back!.... Hey! Stay away you dirty Son of a ....!!!''

Giving the Bs FCS was my first choice, and also the more valid as they keep their autonomy even if Jan get destroyed and they both get a free action after the first pass, but I got distracted by the Jan with Kyle and Squad Leader combo. How about dropping the Ion Turret for a Blaster one (with Kyle, you are garanteed to have a focus every turn to shoot it and you still have a second action for a second focus or TL) and give Decoy so the B you boost can attack early.

Jan Ors + Blaster Turret + Kyle + Decoy

Dagger Squadron + HLC + FCS

Yeah, I also thought about it when making the Triple X build, but I'm worried it would start to paint a big target on Jan: She can boost any X-Wing to 4-5 dice, so on par with the Cloaked Phantom agility AND can attack it before it even cloaked and ionize it in the process. If Hobbie has a LoS, it even stress it. Yeah, it's worth a try.

Jan Ors + Ion Turret + Veteran Instinct

Hobbie + R3-A2

As for Moldy Crow + Engine Upgrade, that's a combo I'll have to try! Maybe more on Roark though, as it is definitly costy. With a turret and Recon Specialist to maximize the focus, that puts him at 34 pts. Or Kyle like you did, but doesn't the focus reserve drop too fast with Kyle ability?
