I want Ciena Ree as a crew card [Lost Stars spoilers]

By Admiral Deathrain, in X-Wing

Imperial only, may also be equipped by Thane Kyrell. Some sort of cool action thats good enough to justify the loss of Tailgunner. Bonus points if its good on the TIE Shuttle´, because that would like some help. And also on the Gonzanti, because she was on the one that collected Vaders ship after the battle of Yavin. Pushed her into a support direction.

Some ideas: Something that helps allies reposition (maybe working on her own ship, too, for the co-pilot aspect) since she did some flight coordination. General action economy in the same vein. Targeting assistance enhancing attacks of her own ship or others, since she was bridge crew most of her carrer.

To be released in that new 4-winged shuttle from Rouge One thats probably going to be shrinked like the Renride. Sure FFG could not include that little clause that allows her to fly with Thane, but her relationship with him is so essential to both characters that it would be a shame to pass up that opportunity to do something really unique and fluffy*. Its also not too much more playtesting effort since she would be limited to a single pilot on a single ship.

*I know, historicaly they didn't fly any combat missions together, but the same thing can be said for Thane in an ARC. Headcanon it as Thane and Ciena living their love for old ships and picking the ARC up after the civil war.

Edit: Oh and FFG already comissioned an artwork for her, have they used that in another game, yet?

I want her as a pilot.

That, too, but can only be empire only doesn't offer the Thane crossover possibility. Which ship, though? She did fly an Interceptor if I recall correctly, but I doubt there will be another release for that. Maybe, though, given that there were some in the new Rebels trailer.

I think she'd end up as a crew for epic ships in addition to a Tie pilot. She came across as being supportive to her allies in the book.

Crew: Huge Ship Only - Once per turn, when another friendly ship at range 1-3 performs a white maneuver you may remove one stress from that ship. 4pts(?)

Effectively Kanan for Imperials Epic. 4pts because of the range boost and that she's going on a huge ship, giving a massive area to affect.

Pilot: PS4 (Same as Thane)

If you overlap a ship with the pilot "Thane Kyrell" your ships join and win the race together, somehow your pilot skill remains at 4.

Seriously it could be something like: When a friendly ship at range 1 is defending they may treat your evade token as their own.

I really enjoyed the book, especially reading about the Imperial Academy. Oh and Thane not knowing who Luke is and caring more for Dak at Echo base. That was an interesting perspective on the SW story.

Where would we get a new epic imperial crew, though? And wouldn't it be sad to not have the chance of letting Thane fly with her?
