A Corellian made hybrid between a heavy starfighter and a light courier, introduced during the many trade fiascoes that characterized the pre-Clone Wars Republic. It never quite caught on, although like all Corellian ships it was beloved by smugglers and pirates.

	Rounding out the trend of Scum reusing ships from the Rebels, we have the HWK making a reappearance. Everything said about the Rebel version holds true, except that instead of being based around buffing your ships, criminal HWK-290s inflict debuffs on your opponent. Comes with an Illicit upgrade slot in addition to the Turret and Crew slots that the Rebels get. Despite Roark Garnet not being available to the S&V faction, the Moldy Crow Title can be taken by them as well. It did belong to a Hutt for a while...

			*'''Amaxine Warrior:''' ''(FAC)'' A group of smugglers used as a proxy by the First Order before they could reveal themselves. They got the name from a culture that was basically a crappier Mandalore. I3 Elite with Tech slot.
			*'''Padric:''' ''(FAC)'' An Amaxine Warrior who planted a bomb in a New Republic Senate meeting. [[Just as planned\|Both parties blamed each other, distracting them from dealing with the fledgling First Order]]. Appropriately, he can cause friendly payloads to inflict Strain on enemies Range 0-1 of that device if he's locked onto it. I3 Ace with Tech Slot.
	*'''Drea Renthal:''' A matronly pirate captain who tried to reduce casualties whenever possible, and had a soft spot for Lando despite the age difference. She utilized Y-Wings with other heavy craft and capital ships to destroy a large chunk of the Imperial fleet when they opted to wage war with the Hutts by [[Exterminatus\|destroying]] Nar Shadaa, even capturing a disabled Carrack Light Cruiser to be her flag ship. Her Y-Wing is white with simple yellow around the cockpit. Being a commander, generic allies can reroll one attack die if the defender is in her firing arc. This applies to her turret arcs, so bring one along even if you don't plan to shoot the thing.		*'''Drea Renthal:''' A matronly pirate captain who tried to reduce casualties whenever possible, and had a soft spot for Lando despite the age difference.

			*'''Arliz Hadrassian:''' ''(FAC)'' A former TIE Fighter pilot who helped build the First Order by leading the Amaxine Warriors. Arliz becomes very aggressive when she's damaged. If she performs a forward attack while damaged, she can turn an eye result into a crit. If she defends while damaged, she has to turn an eye into a blank.
			**She should always bring Advanced Optics and should be focusing every round to get the most of her pilot ability.
			**Additionally, she can fuck things up if she has a torp and you have friendlies with Targeting Synchronizer to cover her locks.
			**Bossk and Kid Boba work well in the gunner slot if you're a filthy pleb who mixes eras.
			**In Epic Play, Arliz makes for an effective Wing Leader, since she can compensate for her reduced dodginess by spreading the love to her wingmates.
	*'''Kavil:''' Leader of the Kavil's Corsairs pirates, he was a badly scarred man who became a privateer for the Imperial Remnant before Moff Leonia Tavira (yep, a female Moff) took direct leadership of his men and gave Kavil the boot. His Y-Wing has a metallic lilac paintjob around the cockpit with white everywhere else. His ability says he gets an extra attack die when performing "a non-forward arc attack." Effectively, this applies to turret attacks and bullseye-requisite torpedo, even when they're firing forward. I know, it's confusing at first. He should always have an equipped turret and a gunner that supplements it. His high Initiative can make the most of Hotshot Gunner's ability. Veteran Turret Gunner and R3 can also be fun to use.		*'''Kavil:''' Leader of the Kavil's Corsairs pirates, he was a badly scarred man who became a privateer for the Imperial Remnant before Moff Leonia Tavira (yep, a female Moff) took direct leadership of his men and gave Kavil the boot.

			*'''Leema Kai:''' ''(FAC)'' Jinata Security Commander and overseer of the First Order's [[X-Wing/Tactics/The Galactic Republic\|child-conscription program]]. His ability is a bit odd for a Y-Wing: If he's not in an enemy's forward arc when he engages, he can get a free target lock on an enemy in his full-front arc. A sensible investment with Leema is Expert Handling, maybe Pattern Analyzer as well.

	*'''Torkil Mux:''' An employee of Jabba the Hutt's that skimmed a bit off the top, used a species of sentient plant as slave labor mining gems. When Han Solo and Chewbacca delivered a shipment of plants in exchange for gems he shorted them the payment Jabba promised, so they stole his ship where he had stashed his stolen goods and took it as an opportunity to give it to the plant people while proving to Jabba he'd been cheated all these years. At the start of Engagement Phase, you get to choose one enemy ship in your firing arc, and knock it down to Initiative '''ZERO''' until the end of the Combat Phase. Hilarious for the look on your opponent's face when PS 1 swarms get to shoot first. The Moldy Crow title widens the coverage of his ability.		*'''Torkil Mux:''' An employee of Jabba the Hutt's that skimmed a bit off the top, used a species of sentient plant as slave labor mining gems.

	*'''Palob Godalhi:''' Another Moldy Crow owner, helped his father with the anti-Empire resistance on the planet Teth and gave his ship to the Rebels, who gave it to Kyle Katarn. Wrote the history books about the Galactic Civil War during the New Republic era. This guy clocks in at Init 3 and can steal a Focus or Evade Token from an ''enemy'' ship in his firing arc at Range 0-2. Just like Torkil, Moldy Crow improves his ability's reach.		*'''Palob Godalhi:''' Another Moldy Crow owner, helped his father with the anti-Empire resistance on the planet Teth and gave his ship to the Rebels, who gave it to Kyle Katarn.

			*'''Gamut Key:''' ''(FAC)'' A cynical planetary governor in the ''Kanan'' comic series. Has two recurring charges and can spend both of them in the end phase to prevent himself or a ship in his arc from losing circular tokens. At most, he can use it once every two rounds, so he can't lock anybody into a particular state, but he can be super-annoying if used correctly.
			**Gamut also shows up as a crew card. His crew ability has the same effect, but applies to ships Range 0-1 instead of in an attack arc.
			*'''Kanan Jarrus:''' ''(FAC)'' Kanan during his "I was young and needed the money" phase that other Rebels like Han, Lando, and Sabine went through. Being a younger version, he's less attuned to the Force and only has 1FP to spend per turn (and he [[RAI\|can't buddy up with Maul because the app says so]]). When Kanan or a friendly in his arc is being attacked, Kanan can spend a Force to make the attacker roll 1 less die. Unfortunately, only having 1FP means that none of the Force Talents are really worth spending points on, as they'd be competing with his main ability. Though ''Patience'' could be worth bringing if you're playing against people who like using Tápusk, Snap Shot, or Foresight.
	*'''Dace Bonearm:''' A bounty hunter, and companion of the assassin droid IG-72. Got the [[nerf]] from his 1E days. He has 3 recurring surges. When an enemy ship range 0-3 gets an ion, he can spend all 3 surges to just dump 2 more ions on them. He can basically guarantee that an ally's ion attack will disable a large ship in one shot. Once every three turns. Dace with a Y-Wing buddy makes for a perfect bro-op.		*'''Dace Bonearm:''' A bounty hunter, and companion of the assassin droid IG-72. Got the [[nerf]] from his 1E days.

			*'''Tápusk:''' ''(FAC)'' Another dude from the ''Kanan'' comic series. He has two recurring charges and can spend both of them in the end phase to prevent a ship in his arc from recovering a recurring force or charge. Obviously very annoying to enemy Force users, even moreso if Jango Fett is riding shotgun.

	The StarViper, technically the "StarViper-class Attack Platform", is another Mandalorian-made ship. The head of the Black Sun crime syndicate, Prince Xizor, paid for them to design a new class of ship incorporating many new technologies like a complex system of microthrusters on wingtips, folding S-coil wings which continually moved while flying like an alien bird or insect of some kind, multiple independent energy systems, and a super complicated targeting system so absolutely anything installed on the ship could be used quickly and effectively beyond what would ever be possible (for a non-Force user anyway) otherwise. Unlike most ships which spread out horizontally, the Virago was tall and thus was an entirely different thing than what most pilots were capable of dogfighting. It hybridized the role of weapons platform with a heavy fighter and also agility that outmatched A-Wings or TIE Interceptors. Once it was completed Xizor then purchased the rights to distribution of the craft so no other would ever be made other than his own, the prototype which he dubbed "Virago", although later several much cheaper variants were made for those in the Black Sun as rewards for service. If you're wondering why the Star Wars version of the mafia would want a unique ship that nobody else can use, the answer is "because their boss is an egomaniac with money to burn". When Xizor and the Virago were blown up by the Executor, the Mandalorians took advantage of their agreement being void and promptly began making as many as possible. They sold to absolutely anyone who wanted one, although their primary buyer was the Zann Consortium, 1/3 of the galactic mob organizations which controlled the galactic underworld (with the Black Suns and the Hutts being their rivals). The Mandalorians also constructed an entire fleet of StarVipers just for themselves to use against their Imperial oppressors towards the end of the Galactic Civil War.

	Coming back around to unique Scum-only ships, the StarViper is a ship from the Shadows of the Empire series of toys, comics, an N64 game, and novels that dominated Star Wars media in the 1990's. Comes with a solid statline of 3 attack, 3 defense, but only has 1 Shield to its 4 Hull making you more vulnerable to Crits than most fighters of similar cost, though it has an excellent set of maneuvers and built-in Boost and Barrel Roll on top of Focus and Target Lock. Starviper was the first ship to have Segnor's Loop. Combo with Advanced Sensors to Boost or Barrel Roll first, and you can wind up in some good flanking positions. If that wasn't enough, the Starviper uses the ''bank'' template when barrel rolling, and you can decide on-the-fly which way it curves.

	Another ship that came before the prequel trilogy, it was the beginning of what would later be the most popular line of fighters in the galaxy. Incredibly small and armed with a trio of laser cannons on its wings, it was the cheapest fighter on the market for long period of time and even after variants like the Scyk and the T-65 X-Wing which represented either a cheaper or better alternative the Headhunter remained popular due to how damn customizable it was. Against the T-65, it was worse in almost every respect from attack to defenses to maneuverability although compared to the rest of the competition on the open market it was the best for the cost. The base Headhunter can be modified until it no longer looks like a small fighter, can look identical to an X-Wing, and can be outfitted with almost any equipment conceivable and even has upgrades available to turn it into a small shuttle craft. It stayed alive and kicking until well after the era of the New Republic.

	Yes, Scum get access to the Z-95 as well. Thanks to a FAQ from Fantasy Flight, you can use your Rebel-painted Z-95s and maneuver dials in the Scum faction, so long as you have the correct pilot cards and base tiles (tl;dr - as long as you bought the Most Wanted pack). Everything said about the Rebel Z-95 applies here, except all Scum Z-95s get access to Illicit Upgrades.		Yes, Scum get access to the Z-95 as well.
