I've always loved the Ace & Mini Swarm variant and didn't know if it could work for the republic. I was trying to combine the potential jousting efficiency and raw beef of Sinker + X Golds with the end game clean up of a Delta 7 Ace.

Here's a couple lists i came up with:

List 1:

"Sinker" (54)
Hull Upgrade (3)

Ship total: 57 Half Points: 29 Threshold: 5

Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 3

Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 3

Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 3

Obi-Wan Kenobi (47)
R4 Astromech (2)
Delta-7B (19)

Ship total: 68 Half Points: 34 Threshold: 3

Total: 200

List 2:

"Sinker" (54)
Hull Upgrade (3)

Ship total: 57 Half Points: 29 Threshold: 5

Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 3

Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 3

Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 3

Mace Windu (45)
Sense (5)
Delta-7B (18)

Ship total: 68 Half Points: 34 Threshold: 3

Total: 200

List 3:

"Sinker" (54)
Ship total: 54 Half Points: 27 Threshold: 5

Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 3

Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 3

Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 3

Anakin Skywalker (62)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (5)

Ship total: 67 Half Points: 34 Threshold: 2

Total: 196

All three have Sinker, 3 golds and a delta 7, and each list has a couple of points to play around with for astros, force powers, hull upgrades or maybe even clone commander cody. I usually prefer 7b over CLT but I've heard CLT Ani is still a force to be reckoned with.

Could any of these work? Thoughts?

I played a 7 games of Obiwan CLT/R5, 2 Gold, Wolffe and a 104th pilot: it Works very well 👍 (6-1, against all kinds of lists)

A Jedi (CLT or 7B) with clone support works just fine.

ARCs are your reliable wingmen: tanky and 3 red dice, Gold are good at annoying/blocking, and while not very powerfull in attack, well, 5 hull !

Choose the Jedi you like the most and fight for the Republic !

For my money, I say Sinker, 3 Golds, and CLT Ani - a true Ace, no I5 nonsense (mostly kidding, I love I5 aces) and a properly modded swarm

I think list 1 with obi is probably the better of the 3.

Since focus will most likely be the primary action for your swarm you can actually get a lot of mileage from obi's pilot ability if he stays close enough to the swarm.

Being able to use your focus defensively without weakening your return fire (your swarm will be firing last most of the time) seems like a really nice perk.

You can turn that 104th into Ric Olie now for another i5.
