2013 champion Paul now uses this astromech on a Y-wing gold squadron with an ion cannon turret. (25 points)

the y-wing can easily lose the stress through green maneuvers since the turret has a 360 degree fire arc.

use the droids ability to stress a ship that you have successfully Ionized.

that ship now has to spend one turn flying straight to lose the Jon token. then the craft has to spend a second turn losing the stress token, and therefore can't k-turn.

if your entire squad flies past the ship affected by this combo, you had essentially neutralized one enemy ship for TWO turns!

this allows you to "bully" the remaining enemy ships, and then return later to finish the ionized ship off!

this is excellent against heavy hitters such as wedge or a b-wing, or hard to kill ships like Luke skywalker with r2-d2.

this is an excellent little droid that makes y-wings a threat again, and it's a very point efficient combo!
