Cross Faction Pilots

By B3AST, in X-Wing

With the Fett all ready setting the precedent for cross faction pilots there are more I think we should have

Good o' Sonntir Fel - Rebel - became a Rogue Squadron Pilot and married Wedge's sister

Mara Jade - Scum and Rebel - flew scum with Talon Karrde then of course Luke's Wife

Lando - Scum

Han - Scum

Guri - Rebel - Flew with Dash for awhile

These are the first that come to mind. Ive only got about half the expanded universe Legends. Ive read all the comics but only the Thrawn series of books.

Any more Pilots we all ready have?

There are quite a few fluff-wise, but I wouldn't expect Boba and Kath to set a precedent - they were designed before the Scum faction was A Thing and there haven't really been any signs of cross-faction stuff since Most Wanted came out.

I'd be a little surprised to see any more cross-faction pilots released.

Scum will never get han.

I'd love to see Dash as Scum. I don't know that we ever will, but it'd be awesome.

Psycho Tycho was originally Imperial, as was Biggs and a good handful of other Rebel pilots and/or Officers

Mara Jade - IMPERIAL ,Scum and Rebel - HAND OF THE EMPEROR flew scum with Talon Karrde then of course Luke's Wife

Sorry if it´s obvious, It´s a idea I had for a long time, an all Faction pillot, probably in a skipray blastboat

I'd love to see a rebel soontir fel, if only to watch the collective aneurysm the imperial fanboys here would inevitably have.

The precedent for pilot appearing multiple times is thus:

In the same faction, shares pilot skill and ability

In different faction shares pilot skill, ability changed to represent different facet of character.

I'd love to see a rebel soontir fel, if only to watch the collective aneurysm the imperial fanboys here would inevitably have.

Even if he had the same ability he'd be in an X-wing.

pretty sure it was an A wing soontir fel flew, and thats fine, still cant reposition as well as an interceptor. unless you give him EH

cross-faction pilots are really just completely different pilots with the same name (which, in game terms, is meaningless because you'll never have to choose between the two except in weird casual games)

same-faction cross-ship pilots seem to retain the same pilot skill and ability (Hera and Mareek so far)

Does your rebel greed have no end? Rebels already have the most ships, the most crew, astromechs, and turrets. Not to mention all the Worlds wins. Now you want our pilots too?!?

No.

As was Solo before turning to a life of crime.

Soontir flew for the Rebels at some point?

I'd love to see a Scum Han.

They left all imperial service while still being in the academy or shortly after, iirc. Except for Tycho. Biggs and Wedge were the ones who got Soontir in trouble, because they stole the first ship they were assigned too. His Student had an alarming rate of defection. ;-)

Mara Jade - Scum and Rebel - flew scum with Talon Karrde then of course Luke's Wife

Not Imperial? I think you're missing the most important part of her life... :)

Mara was never a rebel - she was at the last point of her life a Jedi - which happened to co-operate with the Republic most of the times (when they were not falling to the dark side).

Han was both an Imperial and Scum before joining the Rebellion - however I dun see this happening until the Han Solo anthology movie releases the year after when the movie writes the new canon.

Fel was only briefly with the rebels - he left shortly after to found the new empire.

A lot of the Rogue Squadron pilots flew as Imperials before their defection (Biggs, Tycho, Klivien).

Ashoka recruits Wedge to the Rebellion in the new canon - not sure of his past before.

I want to see a wedge card where he is dressed as Kettch

But I want to fly the Falcon and Slave 1 side by side!! (queue someone to leave some sort of friendship is magic meme)

Too many different replies to quote them all
May have been misleading when I just said Pilot. Maybe some of these should just be crew cards, like Mara Jade. Course all this is based on Expanded Universe which there now is none just Legends, So FFG pulled from or was allowed to pull from EU. So if we throw out all the EU stuff we wouldn't have a lot of these pilots and crew anyway, We'd have to establish what the source material is, I was just going by the EU stuff that I knew of.

I agree with whoever said they should have different pilot abilities based on faction. I like the idea of Scum Han and Rebel Mara Jade (whether you feel she was ever Rebel or not). We now know from cannon Han has spent significantly more of his like as a smuggler than a Rebel. Just to poke the Imperials, side note, Fel was behind Han in his graduating class.

Scum will never get han.

I like some of these ideas. Cross faction crew upgrades would be good to see, I would keep pilots to a minimum though. Soontir is the poster boy for the imps so I think it wouldn't be good for the game to have him as a rebel. Boba only probably happened as FFG were desperate to get him in the game early doors without having to wait for the scum faction.

All for multi ship pilots too, that needs to start happening more!
