i deploy the u-wing in landing position, facing towards me, because i can while the other two go as slow as possible

keyan knows he's going down first, so i fly him to try and take as many people down with him as possible

the u doesn't drop the bombs unless i'm absolutely certain they'll hit

if i know a red manuever for keyan would be bad, i use advanced sensors to ready himself to go through a debris cloud

and the y just stays back, plinking away and using their bombs more to keep people from getting close to it, but dropping them if necessary

thoughts?

The U-Wing is facing toward you? This requires an explanation.

i would have an explanation if i could, something weird happened in hyperspace

Mechanically, the U-Wing can turn 180 if it does a stall maneuver. It's not really any different than just stalling normally, except it might throw your opponent off his game for doing something so silly. Personally, I'd face it along the board, then just 180 into whatever direction suited my attack plan.

Yeah, fluff-wise though, I have no clue what happened
