I do like to try odd lists and I really wanted to try a list that could represent the Black Sun. Thinking about ships and squadrons that the Black Sun might have access to, Gozantis seemed to be abundant. Anything bigger would be a rare and expensive asset even for the Black Sun, hence the use of a Gladiator, being the largest ship that could be mustered.
Squadron wise, the Firespray is a solid choice and it is entirely feasible that the VT-49 wouldn't be a stretch for the means of an organization like the Black Sun. Finally, the Ties are easily replaced with Star Viper models from Shapeways.
It's probably not going to win me a lot of tournaments but it'll look great painted on the table :-)
I chose Opening Salvo as it gives the Gozantis some real punch and their innate Scatter will allow them to avoid the worst of the returning fire from it.
Capture the VIP just seemed so VERY Black Sun it had to be in.
Solar Corona will hopefully limit those accuracies fragging my Scatters.
