Get the Pirates in nice and close while Asajj just hides until they all blow up. Have the pirates stay in nice and close, get bumping, cut off lanes, and just be the best blocker. Keep them from launching harpoons to prevent the hilarious potential for splash damage.

spoiler alert: I do not recommend this at a major tournament.

I think Jakku Gunrunners will make better blockers than the Z-95's due to their backwards moves and 1 turns which make it much easier for them to hug their targets and keep them in range 1. They could also take Courier Droids to deploy at PS8.

If you do stick with the Binaryte Pirates, make sure they all have Guidance Chips for when firing the rockets.

Omg yasssss. Jakku Gunrunners with Tractor Array, Pattern Analyzer is absurdly strong, and with DMS, they become dangerous in an of themselves.

Now, I'm not the biggest fan of Timewalk Asajj, but people like her, so she must be good.

My issue is this. Lone Wolf will become so hard to trigger. You've got 3x Zeds who can't fly together, or a cascade of Harpoon and Dead Man's Switch will blow up all of them in a single round of shooting. So they've got to spread out. They'll just cover too much of the board to reliably get

Meanwhile, PS 1 blockers against Harpoon Nus won't really do that much. Nus get their TLs with Long Range Scanners and that can't be blocked. Denying them focus tokens isn't bad, likewise forcing them to wait a turn to reload, but if one of your Zeds is blocking when they'd want to reload, you've got a ship not shooting the Nus at their most vulnerable.

While I like the idea, I have the feeling that the gunrunners are too expensive. You load them up quite good, but I fear they won't last long enough to make use of their upgrades.
