Ok, maybe too few ships to really be considered a swarm but it's got a force multiplyer and the ships are tough and very manoeuvreable with the droids.

If you drop 1 y-wing, you can load each with an autoblaster turret and prox mines (well 3 prox 1 seis) and the title. Then you potentially do 8 attacks in 1 round, + prox mines.

Maybe no title, big punishment for anyone getting in range 1.

you're missing two to three ties out of the swarm and your howlrunner's looking a little chunky

oh...

Might just be me, but I have zero faith in the naked gold squadron. I'd definitely cannibalize as much as needed to get turrets on the rest.
