I think the fleet you mentioned is Rebel Junkyard. It's interesting reading about it and the tweaks people want to make to it (for example) to try to make it work without Biggs.

The idea is to offer a terrible targeting priority; nothing is good to kill first, and everything is hard to kill. You spread out the damage as much as possible and try to lose no ships, so you don't give away any points. You don't worry about damage, and usually go to time and win by attrition from the few points you picked up on kills or half damage to large ships.

I'm not sure how well it does in tournaments, but I got the impression it's pretty decent. I suspect it's annoying to fight, though, which may be a larger reason to nerf it than actual dominance. I've fought a pre-auzituck version of the list and it was a tiresome grind, though I suspect I won that fight (I don't remember). Lowhhrick + Selflessness seems like a wicked addition.
