I know that Palp + 2 Aces is a very successful Imperial list archetype. I am wondering what others think of modifying this by subbing one of the aces for Lt. Colzet + title + FCS (23points) and Wampa + Targeting CPU (16). This leaves enough points for a 30ish point ace like the Inquisitor (TAP+title+Juke+Autothrusters) and then still have 2 points left over for an initiative bid or for something else like putting FCS on the shuttle.

Problem here is that 39 points is officially Whisper range, above the 35 for Fel or the 35-36 for Vader, so you're having to look at a decidedly smaller variety of ship.

Turr Phennir with VI, Autothrusters, and Stealth Device will do quite nicely, and leaves you with a 1 point initiative bid

Use palp for soontir mostly. (You can take VI Carnor here too! choice is yours). Dodge.

But if you haven't needed it, you can mod Wampa for a crit to cancel. Simple.

Otherwise, Colzet just runs around focusing or evading and wampa does some damage/

But if you haven't needed it, you can mod Wampa for a crit to cancel. Simple.

Meaning that Wampa can save his target lock for a future round, when Emperor was used for defense.

If you want to use Wampa with Palpatine, go mini-swarm.

I aint got room for a TC in that particular build. Drop the tie engine or go down to Carnor with Stealth added.

30pt inquisitor is going to fill that slot nicely.

Marek is my go to at 30 points. ATC, Twin Ion and either VI or crackshot
