	**'''Biggs Darklighter''' - If Luke is the Bomber-oriented ace and Wedge is the dogfighting-oriented ace, then Biggs is the Escort-oriented ace. He has the standard two braces, but doesn't get the bomber die upgrade of the other two. What he ''does'' get is the ability to reduce the damage a nearby Escort is about to take by 1, and put that damage on a different nearby Escort instead. In other words, so long as Biggs is around, none of your X-Wings die until they all do. YT-1300s, with their 7 hull, make an excellent source of extra health to tap. Combine with Jan Ors, Gallant Haven, and/or Rieekan to create a squadron ball that can all but never die. Originally available in the Corellian Conflict campaign box.		**'''Biggs Darklighter''' - If Luke is the Bomber-oriented ace and Wedge is the dogfighting-oriented ace, then Biggs is the Escort-oriented ace.

	*'''B-Wing Squadron''' - B-Wings bring a combination of amazing bombing - rolling 1 blue and 1 black against ships - with high hull, no Heavy, and a strong 3 blue AA attack. However, at speed two, they are nothing short of "slow as hell", and can easily find themselves out of position and either missing turns of bombing, or ineffectively chasing enemy ships all game. Using B-Wings well means using great care in placing them during deployment and making sure you have the squadron commands to keep them moving and shooting, but their low speed can be mitigated by certain upgrades (All Fighters Follow Me!, Independence, Fighter Coordination Team, Rapid Launch Bays, etc), or by placing them such that your opponent's ships land on them, keeping them in the ship's front arc. Otherwise, their fantastic dice make them great defensive bombers, and they're perfectly competent at shooting their way through an enemy fighter screen. But if you want faster bombers or more total hull for your points, look to Y-Wings or Scurrgs instead.		*'''B-Wing Squadron''' - B-Wings bring a combination of amazing bombing - rolling 1 blue and 1 black against ships - with high hull, no Heavy, and a strong 3 blue AA attack.

	**'''''Concord (Mark 1 only):''''' - Grants a second Salvo token which can be DEVASTATING making 3 attacks per turn, even if you need to take fire to do one. The second effect is situational, but nice. You should never need to go speed 0 in most encounters, but using bringing an MC80 or ISD down to 0 with you with your Magnite tractor beams and having that extra bit of insurance of at least a Brace token can be a difference maker in the ensuing slugfest.		**'''''Concord (Mark 1 only):''''' - Grants a second Salvo token which can be DEVASTATING making 3 attacks per turn, even if you need to take fire to do one.

The latter seems tailor made for Mk 2 Starhawks with that super finicky red die. Still, extra defense tokens of any kind help turn the Starhawk into a real damage tank.		**'''''Unity''''' - The only title a Mk 2 can take, but it's a good one.

			====Providence Carrier====
			With the release of ''Rapid Reinforcements I'', the Rebellion has inherited the Providence from the CIS. Uniquely, it comes with no weapons upgrade choices to speak of, but 2x each of offensive, officer, weapons and support slots, making it a potential combo-monster at the cost of being less effective as a standalone large base than the existing MC choices.

	**'''Keyan Farlander''' - King of bombers, he comes with not only best-in-class two black bomber dice, but he can also reroll his attack dice against hull zones with no shields. Because he wants to hit hull as soon as possible, he pairs with Norra Wexley and Y-Wings; aside from that, he's just a B-Wing with two braces, so the same usage applies - be wary of his low speed, and enjoy rolling 4 damage into a ship from a single squadron.		**'''Keyan Farlander''' - King of bombers, he comes with not only best-in-class two black bomber dice, but he can also reroll his attack dice against hull zones with no shields.

	**'''Ten Numb''' - Following the same pattern as the X-Wings, the other B-Wing ace focuses on the ship's dogfighting abilities rather than its bombing power. Upgrading one of his blue AA dice to black, Numb gains the incredibly powerful ability to spend a blue die with a crit (note: ''spend'', so you remove the die from the pool - it's not a critical effect) to deal 1 damage to every enemy squadron at range 1 of the target (note: the target does count as "at range 1 of itself"). Almost like a Rebel Mauler Mithel, combined with Toryn Farr for rerolls, Yavaris for an extra dice, or Adar Tallon for a second shot, Numb can deal ''absurd'' amounts of damage with hot dice. Once again, beware his low speed leaving him out of position.
