Hey guys, I'd really like opinions on this list and if it might be viable, or how I could make it viable. Rexlar will shoot last with 5 dice with a target lock and 2 focus. This would mean he should be able to use his ability almost every turn I'm hoping. Thanks

Maybe swap Jendon for Yorr. Defenders absolutely do not shed stress well, their only greens are straight!
I'm probably as big a fan of Rexler Brath as anyone, and I've given a lot of thought to make him work in different ways. I don't think this setup is optimal for a number of reasons, though.
1.) It relies on staying in formation with a shuttle.
2.) It generates a stress, which is rather hard to get rid of.
3.) The opposing player can elect not to spend tokens on hits coming from the other two ships to avoid the extra die and potential crits from Rex.
If you're going to do this sort of thing, I think Carnor Jax needs to be involved somehow, but then you won't have the shuttle granting a Target Lock, and without the Target Lock for the re-roll, Predator is worlds better than Opportunist.

I thought about that...but I also really want him to have a TL for increased accuracy. Maybe wingman would be more important than decoy? Hmm....

The problem Carnor Jax has with Opportunist is that he stops people from spending their tokens as often as he stops them from taking them.

Good point.
So is there no way to make this list viable? I think it would be super fun to have such a hard hitting rexlar!
From a competitive viewpoint "sort of".
ATM though I see the shuttle & lone tie as chaff and need to be swapped out.
If you like decoy. Run echo/whisper with it and Rexlar with VI.
Not unbeatable but quite nice having echo fire at ps10 then cloaking
Decoy is the new vi for phantoms imo due to other whispers & scum torkill as decoy nullifies his power.

I like that, but it doesn't give me the 5 dice HLC 
I'd like to find a workable list using HLC + opportunist if possible. Any ideas?

How about this one maybe?

Defenders do not like EPTs that stress them. Honestly, there aren't a lot of ship in the Imperial arsenal that opportunist makes a lot of sense on.
I'm trying to think of another way to handle it, but apart from Yorr, I just don't see a way to get rid of that stress from Opportunist. A better option would be PTL with a buddy using Wingman. That way you get both the TL and Focus. It also means you aren't stuck with a one-trick pony shuttle. Try something like this:
Rexler Brath (37)
Push the Limit (3)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Saber Squadron (21)
Wingman (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Saber Squadron (21)
Decoy (2)
