Have you flown the ARC-170 yet? I heard that this thing is a beast if you build it just right, and we have that build here! Read on to find out more!

The ability to have an Astromech and Crew on this little ship make for some really interesting combinations. The Droid Duo is what makes this ship so tough to take down. C3PO adds more evades to your rolls, making you harder to hit. And once you do get hit, just make some easy green maneuvers and heal a shield back with R2D2. Speaking of green maneuvers, the perfect Elite upgrade for Nora would be Push the Limit, since her Pilot Ability allows her to spend a target lock to change one result to a focus when attacking or defending.You’re going to need those extra actions to make this ship really sing. This has good synergy with R2 and C3PO helps you dodge incoming damage.

Norra Wexley – Alliance Overhaul + Push The Limit + Vectored Thrusters+ R2D2 + C3P0 = 41 points

Since Nora can shoot out of her rear firing arc she never needs to turn around so she can do greens maneuvers every turn to regain a shield as she sheds the stress from Push the Limit. Not bad for a 1 agility ship. That’s it for the Rebel’s latest ship build. Keep watching for new Scum and Imperial ship builds as well.
