My actual bread and butter, this list performed really well. I sat the onager far back and parked the black dice tanky victory in front of it with 8 repairs and ecm while my other victory 2 added some long range fire with disposables and still good dps at medium range. It performed well and I had no losses with this list so far.
My second list that i found that performes really well:
Name: Cymoon onager
Faction: Imperial
Commander: Darth Vader
Assault: Surprise Attack
Defense: Fire Lanes
Navigation: Hyperspace Migration
ISD Cymoon 1 Refit (112)
• Minister Tua (2)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• XI7 Turbolasers (6)
• Quad Battery Turrets (5)
• Avenger (5)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
= 144 Points
Onager Testbed (96)
• Darth Vader (36)
• Orbital Bombardment Particle Cannons (5)
• Rakehell (4)
= 141 Points
Gozanti Cruisers (23)
• Admiral Titus (2)
• Comms Net (2)
• Reserve Hangar Deck (3)
= 30 Points
Raider I (44)
• External Racks (3)
= 47 Points
Squadrons:
• Valen Rudor (13)
• Ciena Ree (17)
• TIE Fighter Squadron (8)
= 38 Points
Total Points: 400
Avenger works really well for me when onager shoots first and xi7 avenger goes second but in this list i had a hard time protecting my onager since my opponents werent scared of the cymoon and rushed in onager putting themselves directly at cymoons sights which caused me to win later.
The third list is downgrading raider to a gozanti and beefing up my onager to be a proper fighting ship and not just a fragile sniper:
