Looks fun, though I'm more partial to Oicunn.

True, and I could swap for Oicunn and drop Jerjerrod and Intel Agent, but the first thought was Kenkirk because of the extra survivability

Well, with one exception, they can't shoot you if they run into you!

Looks interesting, and I think it'd do well. It's similar to the Fat Han two ship builds, but with an Imperial twist. With only two ships, I'd stick with Kenkirk- you need the survivability.

I've been having really fun games with the rear admiral and echo

I ran a Vt49 and a Phantom the other day against 2x and 2b. 4 rebel scum down, didn't lose either ship. I like flying a swarm so going with just 2 ships is hard for me to bite the bullet on.

The nice thing is that the phantom can be swapped out for a mini swarm very easily. I did that last night, decimator with same load out and 3 academies. I think out of 3 games he never managed to land more than one damage card on the decimator.

Wow! I don't know how you fly this thing but that's only 5 hit versus a large ship without any defense dice and no boost/barrel roll to change position after moving. I'm impress.

Well, for starters, upon thinking about it more, it was only 2 games. The other game I used a different list.

The first game he was running 2 TIEs, soontir and Echo and my mini swarm did an AMAZING job of blocking. first combat turn I blocked soontir, which caused echo to be out of position as well so neither of his heavy hitters had a shot at the decimator which itself took out a TIE before it could shoot, so it was just mauler taking a range 2 shot at the decimator. second turn I blocked the phantom, leaving it uncloaked. Decimator kills it before it can shoot and my academies take out mauler, leaving just Soontir vs a decimator with 3 shields and an academy or two. I either got lucky guessing his maneuver or blocking him again or something but 5 attack dice with rear admiral focus and a TL killed him next turn.

I don't remember the second game as clearly, but he was running BBX+Craken and again, I popped a ship (airen) first combat round, the rookie X the second and got lucky that he only put a single non-crit damage card on me in the meantime. Once I was getting an evade action from Isaard each turn I was able to avoid or bump a B every turn and just got lucky with his bad rolls. One B-Wing doesn't last long against 5 dice with TL and mini focus.
