I’m about to start my first ever Corellian Conflict and I was wondering about the viability of playing a Leia MSU. Here is the list:

Name: Leia CC
Faction: Rebel
Commander: Leia Organa

Assault: Opening Salvo
Defense: Capture the VIP
Navigation: Solar Corona

Pelta Command Ship (60)
• Intensify Firepower! (6)
= 66 Points

CR90 Corvette A (44)
• Leia Organa (38)
• Jaina's Light (2)
= 84 Points

CR90 Corvette A (44)
• Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)
= 51 Points

CR90 Corvette A (44)
• Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)
= 51 Points

Hammerhead Scout Corvette (41)
• Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)
= 48 Points

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Comms Net (2)
= 20 Points

Squadrons:
• Tycho Celchu (16)
• Shara Bey (17)
• E-wing Squadron (15)
• 2 x YT-2400 (32)
= 80 Points

Total Points: 400

I have played a variant of this list and really enjoyed it, but I am concerned about how it will do in an all out Assault.

Any thoughts or input would be appreciated.

How many Hammerheads do you own? I have found Leia to be really fun with three or four Hammerhead Torpedo Corvettes with Expanded Racks and Task Force Organa.

Leia becomes stronger the more ships you have on the table, so she should do quite well in the campaign as you build a larger and larger fleet.

The big downside that I can see is that you might end up with a lot of scarred ships from one campaign round to the next.

Edit:

It occurs to me that the Pelta is anti-synergistic with Leia. The whole point of her is to not be using tokens. So the IF! fleet command and the Comms Net are both places where you are weakening her strength. I would think that if you were going that route, then Garm might be better for you.

Good thoughts. I only have one set of Hammerheads and the scarring was a major concern for me. I thought the IF! would guarantee more damage in combination with the TRCs, but now I’m thinking it might be overkill especially with Leia concentrate fire rerolls.
