Who says that Vessery is king of defenders... well they're probably right, but i have an idea of my own...

Rexler brath

Rage

Tractor Beam

/D title

Mk2

Captain Yorr

E-Baffle

Rebel Captive

Tactician

Omega Leader

Juke Comms

SD

all the rerolls, the focus needed for his ability/the need for a focus and for none of the stress!

Edit...

Or version two.

Brath

Rage

Tractor

/D

MK2

Epsilon leader

Comms Relay

Lt. Colzet

AC

Blacksquad (alternatively Wampa/chaser but i dont have the Gozanti)

Crackshot.

I think with the first list you should drop the Rebel Captive and Tactician and upgrade Omega Leader to the Inquisitor. You have a lot of points on a shuttle that's probably going to die. Can Captain Yorr receive two stress at once?

Overall though I kind of like the idea of rage on Brath.

Yorr can theoretically take 13 stress a turn with Ebaffle.

without he can take 3.

I think it's a little too heavy of a double-edged sword to work in yorr advantage, hehe. While the combo does work, as soon as Yorr or Epsilon is crushed, Brath is going to be either left stressed, or his ept slot is gone. I guess you'd have to see how long Yorr can last and if it becomes worth it to do it this way or if you should just use fleet officer or something and give Rexler predator instead to make his ability work without such sacrifice.

To make this work, I would say you have to maximize your damage. Running most FO's alongside Rexler just isn't going to cut it for this type of list.

The only FO worth considering imo is Zeta Leader. Yorr's damage is decent too if you get the approach right. Epsilon & Omega Leader just don't have the punchiness, even with tractor beam working...

So I would go with the first list, but change Omega Leader to Zeta Leader. Probably with predator + comm relay, since you can pass his stress to Yorr too if need be.
