Imperial Bomber Group

By dramagod2, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

The focus of this list is to use Rhymer to create a powerful group of bombers that can strike at medium range while the admiral and corrupter help to ensure that they don't get bogged down, while the glad flanks and harasses. It doesnt have a lot of fighter protection but I think it may at least be fun to play, possibly competitive.

If you're maxing out on bombers, then you might want to take Precision Strike and Superior Positions to capitalise on bonus points. Advanced Gunnery is all well and good, but you've got two big ships and six(!) bomber squadrons, and those bombers will start flipping damage cards up left, right and centre. Superior Positions is a little harder with Bombers, but you've got Chiraneau and Corruptor, so that shouldn't be an issue.
