Hello CG_Meathead and thank you for your hard work in keeping this game fun for us :)
Your mentioning bringing feedback to the team brought to mind a few characters and ships I would like to strongly recommend for adding:
Batch 1: Characters from Andor that offer rich potential for Rebel and Imperial squads.
Bix Caleen: Light Side, Support, Rebel, Rebel Fighter, Scoundrel; Loyal mechanic and early Rebel contact; fits well into tech-based support or “Civilian Resistance” synergy through ally dispels, turn meter gain, or debuff utility.
Cinta Kaz: Light Side, Attacker, Rebel, Rebel Fighter; Cold, calculated insurgent; ideal for stealth or strike-team mechanics.
Fondor Haulcraft (Luthen’s Ship): Light Side, Support, Rebel; Stealth-based multi-role vessel designed for tactical evasion and surprise attacks; complements Rebel fleets focused on control or survivability.
Kino Loy: Light Side, Tank, Leader, Rebel, Rebel Fighter; Prison-break brawler with rally-based leadership potential; may offer defense and turn meter boosts tied to ally defeat or crowd-control effects like taunt or ability block.
Kleya Marki: Light Side, Support, Leader, Rebel, Rebel Fighter; Luthen’s covert right hand; a potential tactician who boosts synergy among Rebel Fighters, dispels buffs, and manipulates stealth or cooldowns.
Lt. Dedra Meero: Dark Side, Support, Leader, Empire, Imperial Trooper; Ruthless ISB officer; could control enemy turn meter, expose Rebels, and grant bonuses to Troopers or ISB-themed units; excels in counter-intelligence.
Maarva Andor: Light Side, Support, Leader, Rebel; Rebel symbol; Inspirational matriarch of the Rebellion who provides morale-based buffs like offense up or tenacity, particularly when Rebel Fighters are present.

Vel Sartha: Light Side, Attacker, Leader, Rebel, Rebel Fighter; Tactical strike leader granting critical damage bonuses and tactical momentum for Rebel units.
Batch 2: Characters and ships that deepen the Scoundrel faction.

Batch 3:
