You don’t need Jaina’s on a cr90b, and you probably want Adar so you can triple tap keyan or ten. I’d also consider dropping Biggs to a generic X wing as you don’t really have any important escort aces you need to keep damage off of

I have a similar fleet but with Dadonna. I find that putting Tantive IV on the lifeboat is actually a good investment as it means the ship can actually contribute something whilst skirting the edge of the action. Also means you can drop Raymus from the Pelta as between that and the Comms Net you'll have the tokens you need.

I prefer Quantum Storm to Bright Hope on the reroll GR75 as sometimes you just need to get out of the way quick or get into the action quicker if you want those blue rerolls in a heated squadron exchange.

The 6 points you save aren't enough for Adar but you can afford to updgrade Biggs to Luke and put Leia on the CR90B. Having Leia on the CR90 also means you have a get-out-of-jail card if Yavaris or the Pelta get sliced. Alternatively she can be useful to swap their command in emergencies too and with Tantive you can send a token too. So if you suddenly need to get Yavaris from speed 1 to speed 3 when you had a squad command the Leia Tantive IV combo lets you do that.

I would recommend Adar as @MandalorianMoose says and he can go on the Pelta instead of Raymus but you'll need to drop some squad points somewhere.
