Hey all, I'm somewhat new to the game but trying to come up with some decent imperial squads in light of the faq. I usually run the standard Defender - Quickdraw - Omega Leader but I'm looking for a way to utilize the Upsilon Shuttle. I have this Kylo/Palp build I was thinking of going with and wanted to get some advice on it. The idea here is to exploit Kylo's ability by using Palp to get a guaranteed crit. I have two different formats. One has two decent TIEs, Omega Leader being one I've had success with. The other option puts 3 cheap TIEs down to take better advantage of swarm leader. Thanks in advance!

Though not with these aces necessarily this starkiller base build hands out insane stress each turn. One to each ship at range one to three thanks to Mara Jade and Major stridan combo. It gives another at the end of the round also range 1-3 thanks to Major Stridan and with Saboteur it flips cards up at range 1-3 for more support which is assisted by the co-ordinate action. The other aces are up to you but I chose these because they are efficient and somewhat cheap token stackers.

Major Stridan — Upsilon-class Shuttle	32
Saboteur	2
Mara Jade	3
Anti-Pursuit Lasers	2
Kylo Ren's Shuttle	2
Ship Total: 41
"Omega Leader" — TIE/fo Fighter	21
Juke	2
Comm Relay	3
Ship Total: 26
The Inquisitor — TIE Advanced Prototype	25
Push the Limit	3
Autothrusters	2
TIE/v1	1
Ship Total: 31

I thought about Stridan and Mara Jade too, but it doesn't work. Stridan only boosts range to friendlies, while Mara specifically targets enemies.

Good, point. @Juunon

Hehe I've been trying to find an imperial list that's as consistent against mindlink scum lists for months. I played around with a Stridan list with Systems Officer and while it did okay, it made one ship a fat support ship that easily got focus fired. I feel like your Defender/OL/QD list you spoke of in your original post might still be a stronger list to go with.
