Imperial strategic list

By GM Jocke, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Inbetween my regionals list I would like to try out some casual strategic list wich would revolve around strong objective play. I see that rebels would be better at it but this would be purly for fun.

This is an Idea, I am unsure about the Red objective and also unsure about the squadron loadout. Also Im not very fond of QBT on the Arq toghether with JJ.

Tip on other objectives and squadron?

Commander: Moff Jerjerrod

Assault: Opening Salvo
Defense: Fire Lanes
Navigation: Sensor Net

Interdictor Suppression Refit (90)
• Moff Jerjerrod (23)
• Captain Brunson (5)
• Engine Techs (8)
• Disposable Capacitors (3)
• Targeting Scrambler (5)
• Grav Shift Reroute (2)
• Heavy Ion Emplacements (9)
• Interdictor (3)
= 148 Points

Gozanti Cruisers (23)
• Comms Net (2)
= 25 Points

Gozanti Cruisers (23)
= 23 Points

Arquitens Light Cruiser (54)
• Quad Battery Turrets (5)
= 59 Points

Arquitens Light Cruiser (54)
• Quad Battery Turrets (5)
= 59 Points

Squadrons:
• 2 x Lambda Shuttle (30)
• Ciena Ree (17)

• TIE Advanced Squadron (12)
= 84 Points

Total Points: 398

Have you considered Minefields? It might not offer points directly, but it synergizes with the Interdictor and seems like fun. I would also think about either dropping Ciena for a cheaper squad (Zertik? Mauler?) + TRC on the Arqs or upgrading her to Soontir for escort synergy. You could go for MW if you want to discourage them picking the red; there seems to be enough here to nuke something down. If only there were room for Demo... Lastly, how likely are people in your meta to choose second for themselves upon seeing Lambdas and an Interdictor?

Good luck, this looks fun!

Good points, I don't wanna go with MW as it get played so much already.

Another different list. Included the Demo to discourge my opponent to chose second and achanged the squad a bit and with Thrawn I can push those squads without Gozantis. I would play this vs my friend and he sometimes bid into 375 range so I think I will be second.

This looks like a fun list. Wish there was a better Red Objective for those control pieces.
