The Scum faction is known for making your squadron have a bad day on the tabletop. None do it better than Assajj Ventress in her Lancer Pursuit Craft!
Assajj has an interesting ability that lets her assign a stress token to an enemy ship during the combat phase at range 1-2 inside your mobile firing arc. Seems like a lot to line up in order to get the ability to go off, but the Gyroscopic Targeting upgrade can help.
Instead of moving your mobile firing arc as an action you can use this modification to rotate your mobile firing arc by performing a 3, 4, or 5 speed maneuver. After you assign a stress token to your target, in a pinch you could use Latts Razzi to boost your defense.
You can use Lattz to remove a stress token from the attacker to add 1 evade result to your defense. If you don’t need the defense boost you could always go for more offense by using Black Market Slicer Tools.
With the free stress that you’re handing out each turn, you could use your action to roll an attack die, and on a hit or crit deal one damage and remove that stress. It’s the most stressful ship out there!
