not necessarily good, but fun.

Not to be dismissive, as I want him to be better, but this is probably the best way I can describe Sato as a Commander.

Here's my current favorite Garm/Assault Pelta fleet. It's really fun to play:

Commander: Garm Bel Iblis

Assault Objective: Advanced Gunnery
Defense Objective: Fire Lanes
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

[ flagship ] Modified Pelta-class Assault Ship (56 points)
- Garm Bel Iblis ( 25 points)
- Phoenix Home ( 3 points)
- Ahsoka Tano ( 2 points)
- Projection Experts ( 6 points)
- External Racks ( 3 points)
- Shields to Maximum! ( 6 points)
= 101 total ship cost

Assault Frigate Mark II B (72 points)
- Flight Commander ( 3 points)
- Rapid Launch Bays ( 6 points)
- Reinforced Blast Doors ( 5 points)
- Dual Turbolaser Turrets ( 5 points)
= 91 total ship cost

MC80 Star Cruiser (96 points)
- Lando Calrissian ( 4 points)
- Nav Team ( 4 points)
- X17 Turbolasers ( 6 points)
= 110 total ship cost

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
- Slicer Tools ( 7 points)
= 25 total ship cost

1 Tycho Celchu ( 16 points)
1 Shara Bey ( 17 points)
2 B-Wing Squadrons ( 28 points)
1 Gold Squadron ( 12 points)

It's got the tools to compete against most fleets and can handle being out activated fine.

Here's what I am thinking for a Sato/Assault Pelta fleet:

Commander: Commander Sato

Assault Objective: Opening Salvo
Defense Objective: Fire Lanes
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

[ flagship ] Modified Pelta-class Assault Ship (56 points)
- Commander Sato ( 32 points)
- Raymus Antilles ( 7 points)
- Projection Experts ( 6 points)
- Assault Concussion Missiles ( 7 points)
- Shields to Maximum! ( 6 points)
= 114 total ship cost

Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Assault Concussion Missiles ( 7 points)
= 50 total ship cost

Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Assault Concussion Missiles ( 7 points)
= 50 total ship cost

Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Assault Concussion Missiles ( 7 points)
= 50 total ship cost

Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Assault Concussion Missiles ( 7 points)
= 50 total ship cost

1 Tycho Celchu ( 16 points)
1 Han Solo ( 26 points)
1 YT-2400 ( 16 points)
1 Ketsu Onyo ( 22 points)

Maybe something around these lines

Defense Objective: Hyperspace Assault
Navigation Objective: Salvage Run

Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)

- Ahsoka Tano ( 2 points)
- Comms Net ( 2 points)
= 22 total ship cost

- Shields to Maximum! ( 6 points)
= 108 total ship cost

1 Tycho Celchu ( 16 points)
1 Shara Bey ( 17 points)
2 A-Wing Squadrons ( 22 points)

I like using the Assault Pelta with Entrapment formation when I use MC30's and CR90's. It can make Madine and Mon Mothma lists sing. Lately however, I have also been toying with the STM upgrade, and with some inspiration from the above posts I think I have a list I actually want to try out with it. Madine now has more ships he can make sing on the board:

Madine's Hammering Liberty
Author: itzSteve

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 400/400

Commander: General Madine

Assault Objective: Precision Strike
Defense Objective: Planetary Ion Cannon
Navigation Objective: Solar Corona

[ flagship ] MC80 Star Cruiser (96 points)

- Mon Karren ( 8 points)
- Raymus Antilles ( 7 points)
- Gunnery Team ( 7 points)
- Dual Turbolaser Turrets ( 5 points)
- X17 Turbolasers ( 6 points)
- SW 7 Ion Batteries ( 5 points)

- Ahsoka Tano ( 2 points)
- Veteran Captain ( 3 points)
- Projection Experts ( 6 points)
- External Racks ( 3 points)
- Shields to Maximum! ( 6 points)
= 79 total ship cost

Hammerhead Scout Corvette (41 points)

= 49 total ship cost

Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)

= 46 total ship cost

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
- Bright Hope ( 2 points)
- Hondo Ohnaka ( 2 points)
- Slicer Tools ( 7 points)
= 29 total ship cost

1 Shara Bey ( 17 points)
1 Tycho Celchu ( 16 points)

I've been thinking STM! Assault Pelta with the Task Force Antilles Torpedo Hammerheads led by Sato should be fun.

The HHs get OE for the re-rolls while the Task Force and STM try to keep everyone alive.

Yes I think this may be a bit smelly to play against, you could also pop on projection experts to the assault pet so any hammerhead in the firing line can have all his front shields back........

infact you could go all out and pop a transport in there with repair crews........

give your lead hammerhead an officer for more damage mitigation....... Then jam it down the neck of an ids for max giggles as its survives the arc and gets repaired

I like running the assault pelta with engine tech expanded launchers and that unique officer that reduces your damage. Someone remind me his name... I'm sure it's not efficient but blasting 4 black and 2 red and getting that extra move is fun. It's worked well in my basement. I'll have to play again with my brother in law and see how it does.
