Admiral Raddus is G11 for this event? Is this a sick joke?

I’ve to congratulate the developers for creating an event to showcase a premium capital ship and its capabilities and making it look completely useless. What’s the point of gearing characters to high levels and building a roster if you’re not able to use them in the bonus tier? If the bonus tier is intended to showcase the capabilities of the unit then the game should allow the players to mix and match and experiment in it.
