The Phantom I don't see getting a PS9, for the reasons Wazat mentioned, but it's also in a good spot in the meta and seeing a fair bit of play. It's actually arguably better nowadays since Echo's getting more gametime too. Plus whenever Imperials get a good standalone crew or system slot, it also buffs the Phantom, as we've seen Agent Kallus and Collision Detectors recently, so the Phantom really isn't lacking a variety in gameplay.

The Starviper on the other hand could use some help since it's seeing much less tabletime and much less variety in builds. I'm not entirely sure how they move up from Xixor though, and the Virago title being unique hampers how they can build up from it. A much greater challenge to improve IMO. I think they're also trying to avoid making it a PTL ace which also restricts them (although I'd say it restricts them beneficially)

The one cool idea I've seen floated around was the idea of putting Talonbane Cobra in the Starviper which would take advantage of his ability superbly, which may skirt around the idea of equivalent numbers of PS 9s per faction like Han does.

You'd need to add an Imperial PS 9 into a different ship though, and I'm not sure how you'd do that. Maybe an unspoiled TIE Striker card where *even* the name is hidden is Darth? :p
