Zuckuss and Maul get stress, so you have IR and CC to help with that.

Seems OK, but I'm not sure if Maul will be better than K4. In theory, with the Inspiring Recruits, Maul can clear 2 or 3 stress after attacking. After that, the Trandoshan can perhaps take actions after 4-LOM's white Ion moves, since it won't necessarily be stressed. That might be enough of an edge over K4 Security Droid, who doesn't grant a free TL after an Ion move.

If you did swap back to the classic K4 Security Droid, I'd consider putting both Inspiring Recruits on that ship. Putting 4-LOM and Zuckuss together on Dengar's YV is strong, since Zuckuss goes up in value dramatically if the target can't spend focus tokens.

I'm not completely sold on Contraband Cybernetics. On a YV, a hybrid of Inertial Dampeners and a weaker Glitterstim. That's a strong amount of flexibility for one point, but probably something which is less vital to the list than things like Dengar or Maul. If thinking of those as optional, I might also consider putting Glitterstim on Thweek, or saving points for a bid. That'd make the YV less flexible, but it'd either give Thweek a hand up in getting the last move, or give him a fairly-well protected turn once in the game. All could be strong, depending on how it plays out on the table for you.

Oh, and I just remembered Ion Dischargers. I've seen them used pretty well on Pulsed Ray Shield Kihraxz fighters, and I've read good things about them with 4-LOM and Boba Fett. They might be a strong use for the two Contraband Cybernetics points on the 4-LOM Trandoshan.
