Specialising in speed 2 eh? I find that interesting. I picture it as being a very high speed ship, so I’d have put those greens at 3, maybe.

It also needs to come with a J-Type that it can dock with!

given the focus is on the GCW, i don't think Anakin is likely. Queen Soruna seems more probable, though i know she isn't a force user. but not every fighter has to have a force user at the helm.

But... can they dock in J-types?

I made it speed 2, because it isn't the newest ship around, and isn't as high tech or speedy as the Silencer. But, you know, that's just my idea. I'm down with speed 3 as well.

(besides, if we are going to shoehorn a force user in, make it Leia..)

Yeah, but what about memes then?

I'm sorry, but that thing looks more like it should be defending London against V-1s instead of carting diplomats all over the galaxy. (The Rolls-Royce aircraft engine sound effects add to this feeling.)

I like the stats, and Leia's ability is spot-on.

I'm not sure about the native evade or the mod slot though. The evade makes it feel a lot like an m3-A, and the mod slot doesn't really jive with the fresh, clean look that these things always have.

N1 melt faster than Olaf in the summer. These should be 2 Hull and 1 shield, tops.

I agre with Gadwad, give it the 3 greens, and no mods. It is a cheep torpedo interceptor with an Astromech.

Pilot suggestion

Padme Amidala- aggressive negotiator

Init 3, 1 [charge]^

After you perform an attck that hits you may spend 1[charge]. If you do, assign the Truce condition to the defender.

Truce: You may not attack or be attacked by the ship that assigned this condition. If that ship assigns the Truce condition to another ship or if this ship is the last ship in your squad, remove this card.

Fair enough.

I've got another pilot for you:

Anakin Skywalker, Amateur Podracer
Initiative 4
Force rating 1

Setup: Apply the Autopilot condition to your ship.
When you perform an action, you may spend 1 force to perform an action.

Autopilot
You may not perform actions or make attacks. At the end of every round, roll one attack die. On a hit or crit result, discard this condition.

He doesn't spin good enough. 3.73 potatoes

Wait for republic faction. I love emphasis on the meme and Ani's ability.

Where are you getting that from? They didn’t seem to go down in Phantom Manace any faster than the X-Wings did in New Hope, and IIRC they took out a lot of TIE/ln’s in the comic. I’m not saying you’re wrong (except when you say “tops”), they are light interceptors, but I don’t think 2 2 would be outrageous.

There’s a lot of optimism regarding the chances of prequel factions in the not too distant future.

I can’t argue with that, good point.

Here is my logic:

TIE interceptor and A-wing both have a total of 3 and 4 health. Both are more advanced than the N1. While the M3–A has 3 health, I’m not sure when it was used (without looking it up).

Even look at the Fang Fighter; it can be consiered being used at the same time as the N1. It has 4 health and built by warrior cast Mandalorians.

So why would the N1, not meant for war but Naboo defense, have similar health as more modern, and designed for war, interceptors?

The z95 also has 4 health and it's as arguably as old or older than the N-1.

Sometimes game balance trumps lore. In this case, I think game balance would call for 4 HP. Also, M3-A has 3h/1s in second edition. I could see the N-1 having the same ratio of H:S.

Heck, even the quad-jumper has 5 hull and it's DEFINITELY not originally meant as a war-craft.

I’m not convinced by this idea that the Republic era ships are going to be significantly weaker than Rebellion era ones.

The technology in this world is extremely well developed (they’ve had hyperspace travel for thousands of years), you can’t expect ships to get twenty to thirty percent better every twenty years, otherwise every ship would be a Death Star by now.

Other factors are much more important - intended role, manufacturer, price. The Naboo Starfighter was a work of art - expensive, rare, made by artisans obsessed with perfection. TIE Fighters were... none of those things.

These are dang good points.

At the beginning of the engagement phase fun, you may spend a [force] to gain a focus token.
