I am honing in on a list to literally stress out the Rebels.

Kath Scarlet, Marksmanship, Rebel Captive (44)

Darth Vader, Engine Upgrade, Daredevil (36)

Dark Curse, Stealth Device (19)

It's short on ships, but could be fun.

I was expecting Kath and a shuttle, that way two ships generate stress.

IMO kath would get targeted down very early if you changed marksmanship for expert handling it might be more survivable.

Ah, but marksmanship is there to increase the proc of her ability. First she needs to roll crits, then she needs to have them cancelled to cause stress. Read my post about Ten in the Ibby build topic for the percentages, but basically it takes it from a 30% chance to a 70% chance to get a crit if she has marksmanship. Although... an idea just popped into my head.

Kath w/ Expert Handling + Merc Copilot + HLC

BH w/ Rebel Captive

Winged Gundark*

*You can change this out for another 15 point tie if you want.

So Kath would use EH to barrel roll backwards, keeping her at R3 of her opponents for as long as possible. Then she'll use her HLC, which is needed to keep the damage the same since her action is used on EH (average result 2 hits vs. 3 dice w/ focus of 2.25). It's also needed because we want to keep her at R3 to use the merc copilot to change a hit to a crit, but we don't want the opponent to get extra evades. We'll also want to keep her at R3 to discourage the opponent from shooting her. Meanwhile, the BH will get up close and nasty and hopefully will prompt shots at him, causing additional stress to the opponent. Finally, Winged Gundark gets up close and uses his ability to change a hit to a crit. At the end of the day, you have a crit machine, a stress machine, and a crit or stress machine (but rarely both). Too bad crits aren't that good against rebel lists.
