A slightly modified version of my Interdoctor list (dropped the Dictor for the PE kitten to gain an activation and some squad presence) - tempted to swap the Kitten for a Glad II which gives me better flak and maneuverability but I do lose the long range reds.

This is pretty devastating against ships (pun intended) but still not sure on it's survivability versus Maarek/Jendon et al.

Looks like a dangerous list!

Only tiny change I might make is to drop PE for racks on both raiders and knock the arq down to a light cruiser. Give you a bit of a bid and more overall dice which Vader loves.

This is mostly based off the fact that arquitens are hard to fly without nav commands, and PE will mean you want repairs.

PE gladiators are a thing that I have seen with reasonable frequency and I can attest they make really good support ships to trail and isd. If you really want PE I would look there, maybe also with kallus.

I don't have the HH expansion for the racks alas but when I get it I think that's a good improvement - has given me the idea to put Disposable Caps on the Raiders; dropping the Goz down to a base one, losing Comms Net and QBT to bump the Raiders up to IIs gives slightly better flak coverage and a potent long range capability.
