Corellian Conflict: Screed Raider Swarm

Trying to figure out a list that can be dangerous with 1 upgrade per ship (at the start). So I thought maybe I could use a pile of Raiders with APT.

I think this list could almost ram an MC80 to death in a single round. Add to that all the shield-ignoring crits and high activation and it may be quite dangerous.

So, you Start with 7 Raiders...

Where do you go from there, assuming you're winning games and not paying too much on Refits>

Topping out at 9 Raiders ?

Either 2 more raiders or deck the current raiders out with Ordnance Experts and a few more tricks.

Or improve the squadron section.

I mean, if Raiders get the job done, that's cool and all... :D


But its not the sort of list I could take - I'd need to drop a Raider for more Fighters at the very least...

I have no idea how effective it will really be, but I love the idea. I'm sure nobody will ever see that one coming, or have a firm strategy in place to fight it. However, I have to agree with the following sentiment:

But then, I like squadrons a lot.
