Now that Jabba is out and about, let’s take a look at how Jabba’s Sail Barge will fly in this Star Wars X-Wing squad build!
The only Scum vehicle that can fit Jabba’s butt is the YV-666. For this build, let’s strap him in to a Trandoshan Slaver to save points. His ability affects Illicit upgrades, so let’s load up our squad with them.
Jabba gives you Extra Munitions, basically, with your Illicit upgrades. Glitterstim is a good option for Jabba, but will mostly work for offense. Getting a Range 1 shot with 4 attack dice with Glitterstim will put a hurting on any ship that gets too close, and the 180 degree firing arc will be able to get in close.
Add Dengar as a crew member to really add some hurt to your rolls. He let’s you reroll 1 attack dice always, but allows you to reroll 2 if you are attacking a unique ship. Pretty handy after you pop the Glitterstim!
No that Jabba is taken care of, let’s focus on his minions. Binayre Pirate make a great choice, and with this build you can fit 4 in your squad!
Since these guys are Pilot Skill 1, they will more than likely get outmaneuvered, but with a Hot Shot Blaster equipped to each one, firing arc doesn’t matter that much! And since Jabba give you “2” Hot Shots, you will have greater coverage for longer.
4 small ships with 360 degree firing arcs will be hard to dodge for most ships in X-Wing. Will you try this squad out when Jabba gets released? I know I will!
