How about giving rebels a commander that helps out squadrons like Sloane does for Imperials.

Soon as Imperials get a damage deck manipulator, an Evade super enhancer, and a your ship don't die this round, we'll get right on a Sloane equivalent.

Rebels have a far superior spread of choice amongst its current Admirals.

And as Ovimancer said already, Imperials got Sloane because Rebels have had Rieekan/Yavaris since wave 2, and it enabled Rebel squad fleets to dominate for a looooooong time. Oh I forgot ...Toryn Farr as well, dice manipulation for both battery (ship attack) dice on B-wings....man you poor poor rebels.

I'll take the ability to set dice, or even reroll dice, before anyth.... Oh, look at that.

An Imperial commander who's ability allows them to basically give all their ships the "Jaina's Light" effect would be interesting...

Edit: Probably triggered by spending tokens or something, for example "When a friendly ship activates, it may discard an Engineering token to ignore the effects of obstacles and obstruction until the end of its activation."

I agreed with what you said, and then expanded upon it.

Rieekan is amazing for ships, he was also amazing for a group of Aces hiding inside another Aces escort bubble.

Sloane is great for attacking ships, she is also pretty good for attacking scatter Aces, and still useful against a double brace Aces.

In my eyes that is some sort of parity between the two of them, both can be used offensively, Rieekan can also work defensively.
