seriously another new raid team?

Where did you get the new information about the raid?

we currently have 3 Pirates + 5 marques needed for  legnedary  +sm33 would make it 2 teams it's still idiotic and make no sense lore wise. it's difficult enough for me to get my guild to work on the raid doing this only makes it worse

You’re forgetting, they said TWO Pirate teams.  We usually get 30 characters available for the raid with only 25 able to actually be used. My money is on the leftover five being existing Jedi Vanguard that you can swap in if you don’t get Mace or Jocasta.  But those five on their own will likely accomplish nothing, meaning you need both Pirate squads for a full five teams.

These would be the three existing characters they name dropped, plus SM-33 from Conquest, and 6 shiny brand new Marquees that will come out AFTER the raid launches (assuming they don’t delay it).
