Jendon with this title is 29 points, allowing him to support a couple of aces, maybe even fit the Emperor or other support officers. But because points are painfully tight in a 2 aces + palp list (which is the only time I see the lambda in games other than ultra-casual), that's 8 points too expensive, so it never sees use. You could run 2 - 3 munitions or cannon boats (e.g. TIE Bombers or Alpha-class) with Jendon, removing the lock range issues low-PS munitions boats normally suffer... but for those points you could instead run another munition boat, equipping long-range scanners instead of relying on a support ship.

The problem isn't this title or Jendon's synergy with it, which is pretty good in isolation. The problem is the Lambda itself and its role in first edition given its sub-par dial and capabilities for its cost; it couldn't keep up in the meta except as a no-frills palp-mobile. And even that started falling out of favor when Palpatine got nerfed to lower his dominance and open up the meta a bit. The Lambda itself was as much a casulty of that change as Palp-Aces lists were.
