I've been running this list with some success:

Thweek (28)
Fire-Control System (2)
Autothrusters (2)
StarViper Mk. II (-3)
Virago (1)

Manaroo (27)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Dengar (3)
Punishing One (12)

Palob Godalhi (20)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Cikatro Vizago (0)
Cloaking Device (2)

Total: 98

I really want to make Palob/Manaroo combo work (stealing tokens and getting action economy from Mindlink seems awesome), but I suspect that this list might just be inferior to similar lists I've seen (specifically, Thweek/Bumpmaster/Asajj).

Palob usually does his job as a distraction the first round or two, and I often switch out to Dead Man's Switch, forcing the opponent to make a difficult choice to take damage or keep getting token denied.

Anyone have ideas on how I can improve this list? Is it simply inferior to the aforementioned Thweek/Bumpmaster/Asajj?

Id swap the cloaking device for vectored thrusters. That way, you can range control easier with the autoblaster and palob's ability.
