Your second list is definitely more thematically accurate, eh? Bounty Hunters and all, as opposed to actual MP's.

I agree and I am leaning more towards the Scum list for that reason among others. In particular, the giant HLC mounted on a super tiny ship feels right, as does the low-PS Quadjumper playing the role of Hammer Head. The reckless PTLs also seem very appropriate.

Hard to beat Pure Sabacc for Faye, though. Maybe Xizor? That pilot ability would also be reasonably thematic, but it would also suck hard in this list.

Well, and wouldn't Sunny be a better gambler? That leaves a wack of points to spend though.
