The Azzameen's

So, these guys have come up multiple times and the biggest argument is who they should be affiliated with, well in my own opinion they should all be connected with the Scum faction (mainly due to the fact that they already have Emon) even though they did have ties to the Rebel Alliance. One way of doing this would be to give them their own expansion with the YT-2000 model and just include the base plates for the YT-1300 like the did in the Most Wanted Expansion, possibly using the family business in the title of it.

This would really open up some new possibilities for the Scum faction like giving them 2 potential pilots and titles for a Scum YT-1300 with Aeron and Ace flying the Selu and Sabra. Something they could do with these since they are would be to give it different stats than our beloved Falcon similar to the ORS and use the titles to give them uniqueness like with the Punishing one title. I'll let you awesome card designers come up with this part.

Another ship it would bring into the game is the YT-2000 which has already been seen in the Chaardan Refit art, and this ship would bring in the patriarch of the family Tomaas. Maybe you could even throw Aeron in with this one to since she flew this ship for the family also.

Besides providing new ways of incorporating an old favorite and bringing a new ship into the fold, you also bring a plethora of new crew card options and possibly even illicit upgrades, since there are 6 members of the Azzameen family that we currently know about plus their droid MK-09 that gives FFG plenty of new options for new and exciting abilities plus bringing in Emon as a crew card and not just a plot.

Another way this could work is bringing the GR-75 to scum since they also had one of those in the family fleet along with the Action IV Transport which is as I can tell one of the favorites for the scum epic right now.

So as always on here lets here what your guys ideas and issues with this would be, and see if FFG really does read these forums like we think they do and take our ideas to heart.

I agree with most of your suggestions there; I'd love to see Ace, Aeron, Rmkay and co make it onto the game, and Scum really has to be their home as you'd want to fly them with Emon.

YT-2000; plus YT-1300 titles and pilots (with ORS stats). Maybe even a Vasudra title and tokens/cards to allow Scum GR-76's.

That's what I'm saying FTS, they would be excellent Scum pilots because they mainly only look after each other, and they could have a title card based on the family business with something that gives them the ability to preform a retaliatory attack when a member of the family is attacked as long as the attacking enemy ship it within the primary arc, kind of like Dengar's ability.

Azzameen Family

Title

Azzameen pilots only

You may treat this pilot as Rebel pilot for squad building purposes. If you do so, you lose all Illicit upgrade slots and reduce your squad point cost by 1.

Azzameen ships at range 1-2 may spend your focus tokens as if they were their own evade tokens.

You may equip this title in addition to another title upgrade.

Cost 0

"Hey, Ace! Watch those turbolasers"

"Hey, Ace! Watch that missile!"

"Hey, Ace! Foe at your six!"

- Azzameen family members, watching over their little brother like all the frigging time...

I like the concept but that kind of ability has been used before and we don't see it very much in competitive play. Also, FFG could just make a Rebel version of the Azzameen's if they wanted just with different abilities like they did with Boba and Kath when they made the Scum Firespray's.

I'm hoping that the first scum epic ship comes with cardboard to make the gr.75 into a scum ship ...

I'll assume the Vasudra title should be GR-75 only :P

Needs moar Sabra/Selu titles. Preferably one which allows some form of bonus if the Selu is blown up.

Actually, I made a mistake there and I totally meant the Sabra.

I would like that YT-1300 freighters from the Azzameen family were more like what a commercial freighter is supposed to be, rather than a combat ship like the Falcon. That's why it would have Cargo and Team. And it would give an use to those types of cards in Standard play.
