Inspired by Biophysical's list consisting of Brath, OL and ZL, I gave it a go over the weekend with my brother, as I'm trying to find a list to field for my first tournament next weekend.

I played it far too aggressively and the FOs both failed to make the end game in 2 out of 3 of our matches, leaving Brath to try and fend off a VI Poe with Autothrusters.

Up to that point I'd mainly be playing Palp-Aces, but want to try and be at least a little original, have no delusions about winning the tournament, just want to have some fun and improve my skills, as well as get some games in against someone who isn't my brother.

This is how I've tweaked the list, shoe-horning Palpatine in there and I was hoping people might have some suggestions:

OGP with Palpatine 29

OL, Juke and Comm-relay 26

Rexler Brath, VI, HLC 45

Shuttle would hit as hard, or harder than ZL, at least until he goes past everyone, plus it lends a little more bulk.

Brath isn't exactly a supreme arc dodger like Fel, but at PS10 he might be one of the very last to move and I can maybe put him in a more favourable position with a barrel roll, or at the very least stop some aces from pulling the same stunt on him. It would also allow him to shoot before a lot of the aces, being able to do that on Poe might have turned the tide of battle in my favour once or twice.

Finally the Emperor would make up for the loss of the hull upgrade on Brath a little and could be used as a purely offensive bonus if there wasn't an immediate threat.

Other options that have occurred to me would be to swap Palpatine out for Vader on the shuttle, which would leave a bit more wriggle-room for upgrades.
