Ok so this squad has had my attention for quite a while, it's only downfall is lack of high ps, but the action efficiency is the closest thing to mindlink I have witnessed for a while

Upsilon-class Shuttle: · Major Stridan (32)

Fire Control System (2)

· General Hux (5)

Systems officer (2)

Pattern Analyzer (2)

TIE Striker: Imperial Trainee (17)

Lightweight Frame (2)

Adaptive ailerons (0)

Now on paper it looks ok, but playing with it, the actions are really nuts

You do move all strikers into position

Evade with all of them, shuttle does a green, hux, gives all strikers focus and the striker of choice fanatical devotion, then you pass out a target lock to ship of your choice, then you clear the stress from hux because of pattern analyzer.

So you have three strikers with focus evade, one with target lock, and fanatical devotion. And of course you can always pass these actions to the shuttle if he has a good shot. Hell you can block with one striker and pass the shuttle and the other two all of the actions instead

Just want thoughts and possible tips for problem squads. But the power this can hit with in the first round of combat can be huge, 13 dice at range two-three.

Also if you have any ideas for tweaks I'm open to hear them
