Shadowed copies Pilot Skill.

Mimicked copies Pilot Ability.

Let's say he's up against Darth Vader. Thweek could either copy Vader's 2 actions per turn ability using Mimicked, or he could boost himself to PS 9 using Shadowed. Two actions would allow Focus + Lock, for example, while winning the Pilot Skill battle (by giving initiative to Vader) is great for a StarViper thanks to its maneuverability.

Because Thweek can always guarantee he either steals a useful ability or matches the foe's highest PS, he's well-equipped to be a thorn in most any fleet's side. TLT fleets and other scrub swarms won't be bothered by him (since they're low-PS and have no pilot abilities), but most fleets have something worth copying.
