Maybe he can heal friendly units each time a ship is destroyed

Huge ship only

We can see he actually uses a lambda in the original trilogy. Could be nice if he were expensive, but not only for huge ships.

FFG doesnt seem to concerned about fluff with this game, and does it really matter if hes expensive or not since no one knows what he does

This should have doubled for the speculation thread no?
