Like the title says, I'm unfamiliar with this ship, circled in red, seen both in Rogue One and on the cover of the Profundity expansion.
Can some one identify this? Is it a likely candidate for wave 8?
Which ship is that? Rogue One/Mc75 expansion cover art
I think it's this (also seen in RotJ):

Edited by evangerThat's the Braha'tok Gunship. Coming soon to an Armada table near you!
Also seen briefly in RotJ and Rebels.
Looks like a Rebel Raider equivalent to me. It's pretty, so I'd be cool with that.
I like the look of it and it's so rarely on screen that the design space for it is pretty open, but it'll be tough to add a third rebel corvette and still give it a unique role.

Nice! Thanks!
So based on the Canon Wiki, it's even smaller than a CR-90 (which is listed at 150 meters). It's the exact length of a GR-75 transport at 90 meters....
That would imply a new flotilla type, yes?
As with all things FFG - it depends on what they feel the game needs.
Imps needed a new medium ship that didn't step on the victory's toes, viola, the Quasar is now a medium, despite being smaller than a Gladiator.
It would make SENSE for the Braha to be a combat oriented flotilla - but if they feel that the flotilla rules are too constricting for a combat ship, or that flotillas in general were a bad idea (could you imagine the skew lists if the rebels got a 23-28pt COMBAT ship? 1 dice on the side and it's OVER) then you best believe it will show up as a small ship with the point cost to match.
In this sense, FFG painting themselves into a corner begins to show. If they make a combat flotilla brahatok, they need to find a niche that puts it somewhere between a combat gozanti and torp hammerhead that isn't totally useless. Seeing how often combat gozantis get used, I feel from a pure design standpoint the braha is deceptively hard to get right.

Yes. The Broha'tok is indeed flotilla sized, and would be the first combat flotilla. Proud member of the Broha'tok fan club here

It has more screen time than b-wings now.
Oooooh, perhaps an all-black dice combat flotilla? Maybe we can even get a single black out the side, but with some significant downside because Ackbar.
As long as it lacks a scatter.

Yep, probably this.

Could be neat!
Could also be the dedicated anti-starfighter platform the rebels still need.

I was just thinking it could fit a role similar to the raider.
Been there, done that

Sharp work as always.

I agree with your overall point.
However, it wasn't FFG that increased the size of the Quasar. That was the Rebels TV show. The Light Carrier in the show is significantly larger than the Legends Quasar Fire. Much like the Rebels Interdictor is much larger than the old Immobilizer 418.
All they have to do is include in the packaging an errata'd Admiral Akbar that states his effect only affects ships of size Small, Medium and Large and not Flotillas

Or give us a card similar to external racks that would give them a one-shot boost to their natural firepower. Or a card that allows them to use front armament for an empty side armament for one shot. Even easier than an errata.

It'd be easier just to not give the ship dice out the sides.
In EU lore, anyway, the thing was supposedly a dedicated anti-fighter platform. So...why not no anti-ship dice at all, but a blue+black (or even double-blue) AA armament? Obviously no 'fleet support' slot, so it doesn't step on the toes of the GR75.

The Quasar we have is the canon Quasar opposed to the legends Quasar. Correct me if I am wrong, but Rebels made it canon again?

It did, and increased the size as well.

Exactly. Rebels made it canon again, but at a much larger size than the old Legends version had been. (And the ship is called a "light carrier" in the show - the name Quasar Fire comes from other sources)
